Getting Started with the Library

You won't be required to purchase books for your course as materials on your reading list will be available through the library. The majority of reading material will be provided digitally and accessible from the reading list on your module ELE page. Find out more here.

You have access to millions of online resources (articles, books, journals, images, videos etc.)  24/7. There are a number of ways you can search and discover our online content:

• Use Library Search to discover print books, ebooks, book chapters, journals, journal articles and more. It's a good place to start your research!  
• Access the A-Z Databases list when you want to explore beyond Library Search 
• Find your module reading list on ELE or search here 
• Use your Subject Guide to find key resources for your discipline

Use Library Search to find print material or come in and browse the shelves.
