Many of the books and journals on your reading lists will be located at the Malet Street Library. However, some items may only be available from the Continuing Education Library and these may be requested if they are not on loan or required for CE courses by filling out a request card. Books may be located in the Main Collection, the Short Loan Collection or the Reference Collection. It is important to use the catalogue rather than simply browse the shelves as this will tell you which collection the book is in and will also tell you if the book is on the shelf or out on loan. The catalogue includes videos.
Most videos are one week loan.
Feature films can be found at 791.4372 Short loan collection Books in heavy demand and photocopies of journal articles and book chapters can be placed by lecturers on four hour loan in this collection. For books search the catalogue in the usual way. Since 1996 all books have been classified using the Dewey system and these books are separate from an older alphabetical sequence.
