Start your research the right way with a Library Research Guide. 

The librarians create useful and user-friendly guides on subject areas and topics to share their knowledge of key information sources. They suggest pathways to find the best information and resources.

Place a Click & Collect request on physical resources via Library Search for collection in the Main and Law Libraries.

If you are studying remotely and cannot visit the Library, you can use the Get It request option for portions of books and articles. Typically we can digitise 1 chapter or 10% of a book, or a journal article.

When the library doesn't have the item you need, place a request for it in Library Search. We will attempt to supply it from another library for you. Delivery time for digital chapters and articles is usually less than 1day!
