Business and Management: Find Books

Access to information on business and management, including books, journals, library databases, selected web sites and Harvard referencing.

Finding Books

The Library Catalogue is the best place to start searching for books, 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.

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:

  • From either the Home view or Student view on Portal, select the Library tile, and follow the Quick links on the Library homepage to Reading Lists.
  • Go directly to the Library Home page and select Reading Lists from the Quick Links section

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 BMG857 not BMG 857

Have you passed your current reading list on to your Subject Librarian?

Below is a handy guide to making sure your students can get the material they need.

If you can't find the books you need

Students may submit a suggestion for stock purchase to their Librarian using this form (Portal login required). You can also email your Subject Librarian to recommend items for purchase.

Academic and other staff should contact their Subject Librarian directly.

You may request or reserve print 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).

If we don't hold the book on any campus then you can request it using our online Document Delivery service. We'll borrow the book or obtain a scanned chapter from the British Library on your behalf.

1 user - only one person can access the ebook at  a time

undefined
