The Library Catalogue is the best place to start searching for books, most (but not all) ebooks, non-book media (DVDs, CDs, microflm, etc.) and Ulster dissertations. Try it out using the search box below. Use the left hand results filters to limit by Format, to find various types of material.
To search by language, use the "More Options" beneath the search box to help you. For example if you want a book on "trees" written in Irish, you can search the Catalogue by typing in "crainn" at Keyword. Alternatively you can type in "trees", and "limit by language" selecting Irish as the limiting language.
Reading Lists on the Library website are electronic versions of the lecturers' reading lists which can include references to books, e-books, journals and e-journal articles, scanned articles/book chapters and websites. The list has been linked to items in the catalogue to speed up your searches.
Reading lists can be located in two ways:
This will take you to the searchable reading list screen. You can browse by faculty / subject area and view all the reading lists for that topic, or search by keyword or module code in the search box at the top right of the page. If searching by module code do not include spaces, e.g. enter LAW132 not LAW 132;

Oversize Books which are very large are shelved in a separate sequence, after Z. Their shelf numbers are prefixed with "0".
