I can't find the book I want on the shelf, what can I do?

Answer

If you can't find the item you're looking for on the shelves, here are a few things to consider:

Make sure that the location of the book matches where you are looking. When you find a book through the Library Search it will tell you which of the collections the book is located in.

The item may have been recently returned and is on its way back to the shelves.

If the item still can't be found, please place a hold/reservation so that a search be made by our staff. Once the item is located, we can contact you via your student email and you can collect the book from our Click and Collect points.
