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.

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.

SCONUL Access is a co-operative venture between most of the higher education libraries of the UK and Ireland. It enables staff and eligible students to borrow material from other libraries. If you plan to visit a university library in the Republic of Ireland, you may wish to consider the ALCID Scheme.
Don't forget that if the institution you intend to visit is part of the eduroam service, you will be able to access your Ulster resources via your laptop or device using the wifi service of the institution you are visiting. Ensure you have already set up your eduroam account before you visit.
