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 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;
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).
You may not find a complete book on your chosen topic, but there may be sections or chapters WITHIN books which you might find useful.
Google Books is a good way to find books with find matching text or chapter headings. See the search box below.
Once you locate a relevant text, check the Library catalogue to see if we have the book in stock or request it via the Document Delivery service if we don't.
