The catalogue
The Library catalogue lists all books, e-books, journals and newspapers by title, audio-visual material, and more, held in the University library. Search the catalogue for recommended texts, or for books and other material on your subject of interest.
• To find what is held in the library use either Library search or Voyager, both available from the library home page.
• Voyager enables you to locate books and multimedia held in the Library system while Library search also searches for articles (a very general search) and images.
• For more help with Library search click on the Help link on the main search page or enrol in a training course.
• If you want to know how the Voyager interface works then have a look at the Voyager online tutorial.
• These tools are the key to locating and accessing material in the library system - it is to your advantage to learn how to search them well.
Hints
• When doing a simple search of Library search include as many key terms into your search as possible - eg author name, key word from title, publication date.
• Advanced search gives you a lot more options for searching, including using subject headings for more precise searching.
• The results you get on Library search will often include journal and magazine articles and these will appear first in the result list. If you want to locate a book then you will need to refine by format or location AFTER you do your initial search (the options will be on the left hand side of the screen).
• To locate more focused and better quality journal articles on business topics search one of the journal databases.
Locations
The Location information tells you where the item is held (i.e. General Library, Kate Edger Information Commons - KEIC), and if it is currently available to borrow.
In the catalogue, the location Short Loan is where you will find many of your recommended books. Short Loan is held in KEIC, cnr Alfred and Symonds Street. These items can usually be borrowed for 2 hours at a time. You will need your ID card to borrow them.
The rest of the books for your subject are held in the General Library, Level G and 1. You may find further items of interest in the Architecture library too.
