About our library services
Visiting our libraries
How do I find books and other resources?
NUsearch is the University's library collections discovery tool.
Use NUsearch to manage your library account, search our collections, place requests and access thousands of e-resources including ebooks and ejournals.
Find the key resources for your subject area in our online subject guides.
How many books can I borrow?
You can borrow up to 60 print books from our libraries.
Pop in to our libraries to browse and borrow or place a request on NUsearch and we'll let you know when your book is available to collect.
- Books will usually automatically renew every day unless someone else requests them.
- We will email you to let you know if you need to return your books. Look out for the email "Your library loan has not auto-renewed"
- Items in high demand will be issued for a shorter period of time and will not auto-renew.
- Return any books on time to avoid fines.
