Older Theses are kept in the Compact Store at the Joule Library. Requests for these theses should be made at the Joule Library Issue Desk. The Library has online access to British Standards which allows you to search for standards on a topic or to view a particular standard. Indexes to foreign and international standards are also available on the same system. Some older material is kept in a book store at the Joule Library.
Material is collected from the store twice a day.
How to find a book periodical or thesis To discover whether the Library has a particular publication in stock and where it is kept you will need to use the catalogue . This is a computer system which lists every publication held by the Library, giving details of the item together with its class number if appropriate, the number of copies in stock, whether it is available for loan or reference and its location. The catalogue terminals provide details of which copies of particular books are out on loan and when they are due for return. Although a book may be indicated on the catalogue as not out on loan, unfortunately we cannot guarantee that it will be at its correct position on the shelf. If you cannot find the item you are looking for either on the shelf or with the books awaiting re-shelving, please reserve it, either from a catalogue terminal or by completing reservation slip.
