Books and ebooks can be found by searching the Library Catalogue. You can search by criteria such as author, title, and subject. The catalogue will provide you with a link to the ebook or with details of the library that holds the book together with its location and availability.
The majority of the relevant print materials will be available from the Wills Memorial Library. You can also find useful material in other locations for example:
We use the Library of Congress classification system to place books in the appropriate place on the shelves. For example Introduction to Palaeobiology and the Fossil Record by Benton is available on the shelves at classmark Oversize QE721.2.E85 BEN. Classmarks are recorded on the spines of books.
You will obtain information about the books and other materials that you will need to read from your Resource List. If your course has an online Resource List, you will find a link in the Blackboard area for the unit.
If you feel that the collection is missing a key item you need then please let us know by filling in a 'Suggest a book purchase' form. Your recommendations are always welcome.
Finally, don't forget that you can use any of the Libraries and Study Spaces provided by Library Services.
