Books
Search the Library catalogue to find books (tab above). No username and password is needed.
It is always advisable to check the catalogue rather than browsing the shelves as the Library has two subject classification schemes, relevant books can be classified at other shelfmarks, and books you may be interested in may be currently out on loan.
Some of your essential reading may have been placed in the Reading Room Collection.
To see how the subject area is classified in the Library, click on Classification for Education and Lifelong Learning.
