Language and Linguistics: Finding Books

Where can I look up the shelf numbers?

Use the Library Catalogue to search for books and ebooks.

Requesting or Reserving Books

You may request or reserve books from any campus whether they are on loan or not, using the 'Reserve this item' button in the Library catalogue.

Choose where you want to collect the item and you will be notified when it is available to collect. (Two day Loan material is excluded).

Getting books not available in any of the University libraries

 

 

If the book you need isn't in the Library catalogue, then you can request a copy of the book using our Document Delivery Service.

 

Looking for a reading list?

Why not check to see if your reading list is available online? Search by module title, module code or lecturer.
