We make every effort to keep our catalogue accurate. However, if you're planning to travel to a library to borrow an item, we recommend that you telephone first to check that it's available - Library addresses and phone numbers.

Most material located in Business Insight, and on Floors 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Central Library is not available for loan. However, we have begun a scheme to loan booksfrom Arts, Languages & Literature, Social Sciences and the Science Library.

Some items added to Central Library stock before 1973 may not be shown in this catalogue. If you can't find what you're looking for, please contact the library.
