Finding books

Most of our print books can be borrowed. If the book you want is on loan, you can place a hold on it and you will get an email when it comes back.

Our printed books are arranged by subject classification. The Classification Scheme can seem complicated to start with, but you will soon get used to it.

Most books covering core topics in Sociology are on floors 4 and 5 of the Library.
