How the Library can help you  

The Library provides a wide range of print and electronic resources to help you with your teaching and research.  This guide is intended to provide you with a starting point so that you can make the best use of these resources.  Throughout this guide, the term Library is used to include campus libraries and Learning Resource Centres/LRCs.

Please introduce yourself to a member of the Social Science Library Subject Team on your campus (details below) as soon as possible so that we can show you the services and resources in your subject area.

The Library produces a range of printed guides and these are available in your campus Library/LRC. In addition, there is a comprehensive overview of the services offered by the Library on our website. From this page, you can access your borrowing record, renew material that you have on loan or reserve an item currently on loan to another borrower. You can access databases and electronic journals or request document delivery/interlibrary loans. The Subject Guide for Social Sciences has useful information on the huge range of library sources available for the main subject areas taught in the Faculty and includes links to evaluated resources on the Internet.
