Searching for your book
Library users can locate books in a number of ways. Searching on either a personal device or via the multiple library search terminals in the David Wilson Library (located by the stairs), the library database can be searched using book titles, author names and key words.
A successful search should provide users with the book's location in the library. This will be broken down into floor, colour section and Dewey Decimal Number. It is then simply a case of following these directions.
How to find your book
Books can be found on every floor of the library.
Floors 1, 2 and 3 have a Yellow, Orange and Blue zone. Blue and Orange zones are in the silent study areas.
Using the Dewey Decimal System, books are sorted onto rows/stacks.
The signs at the end of each row show the range of books available in that area. Some row/stacks are moveable via the handles (make sure to lock them when using). Books are shelved from left to right and run from top to bottom
If you remove a book from the shelf and do not wish to borrow it, please DO NOT attempt to re-shelve it. Instead, place it on the trolley by the stairs found on each floor.
