LibAnswers: Library answers

If you are looking for a specific book, always use OneSearch. You’ll then know if the book is on loan or on the shelf and where to go to find it. 

• Go to OneSearch on the Library website or on the dedicated PCs in the library
• Click on the Books and more tab
• Enter the title of the book and click on Search
• Note the floor and classmark (What is a classmark?)
• Click on Find and Request and note the format of the book (under the heading Type) and the availability (under the heading Status)

If the book is showing as ‘Item in place’, go to the right floor and look for the classmark. The classmark is on the spine of the book.  The classmarks are shown on the end of the shelf rows to help you find the right place quickly.

If you are only looking for only electronic resources, you can filter your results by 'Full Text Online'

This video shows how to carry out a basic search in OneSearch. The first section shows how to find both an ebook and a print book.
