Do you have a book suggestion for the Library? Let us know.
The Library uses the Dewey Decimal Classification system which groups all books according to subject, using a 'classmark' made up of numbers, these numbers are usually followed by the first three letters of the author's surname.
Heritage Online (the library catalogue) displays the location, classmark and availability of each item.
Some key subject areas and their Dewey numbers are listed below to help you get started. Please ask staff if you need any help finding books.

The Inter-Library Loan service enables you to borrow items (or to receive copies of items) which are not held in our stock. Project year students, Clinic year students, final year Undergraduate students, and taught Postgraduate students are given a free allowance of 5 items per academic year. Teaching staff are not charged for Inter-Library Loans.
Inter-Library Loan charges are subsidised at £5.00 per article or book chapter. In stock articles/chapters can be photocopied for distance-learning students at 5p per (black/white) sheet copied plus £1.00 per article/chapter.
Please submit requests for journal articles or book chapters by completing an Inter-Library Loan request form.
