All of our libraries are open for self-selection and self-issue of books from the shelves during opening hours, and so at these libraries you can visit and select a book yourself. Please see this webpage for more information on borrowing books.
If a book is stored in the Research Reserve, you can reserve this via Library Search to be delivered to one of the open libraries.
If you are studying off-campus or cannot come to campus for whatever reason, then you can request for a book to be posted to you (provided that you currently reside at a UK address).
