How do I find out if the library has a book in print format?
Search the Library Catalogue or Search + Find to find the book that you are looking for. You can search by keyword, title or author and refine your results using the filter options on the left hand side of the screen.
When the results of your search are displayed, click on the title of the book you require. This will give you more information about it including:
- How many copies of the book are available
- Status: if the book is currently available or on loan
- Current Library/Location: what library branch the book is located at,
- Class Number: this is based on the Dewey Decimal System and will help you find where the book is located in the library
