Hello. This video will show you how to find a specific book in the Library catalogue.

First of all, make sure you're signed in at the top of the library home page.

In this example, we're going to be looking for Financial Accounting Theory by William Scott; the 7th edition. Since we’re looking for a book, select the ‘Books’ option above the search box.

Now, you don't need all of the information about the book to be able to find it on the Library catalogue. You just need a couple of keywords from the title of the book and usually the author's surname. So I'm going to type in 'Financial Accounting' and 'Scott'. Then click 'Submit'.

As you can see from the results, the first results in the list are the book that we want. We have the 6th edition and 7th edition. Some books are available as ebooks but in this case there was only a print book available.

Click the title or ‘Quick look’ to access more information about the book including the publication details that you’ll need for your bibliography or reference list.

The books are ordered in the Library using a 'classmark' code. As you can see, the classmark for this book is HF5625.S36.

In order to find where this will be in the Library, click the ‘Classmarks & locations’ guide on the right hand side. The location guide is ordered by alphabetical order and, as you can see, H will be found on Floor 5. Click the 'Floor 5' link and it will give you a floor plan of Floor 5, which will help you to find where on the floor the book is held.

If we go back to the results list, we can find an example of an ebook. Although the book that we are looking for is not available as an ebook, there will be other books that you are asked to read which are available as an ebook.

To find these, search for them in the catalogue in the same way and instead of clicking to find out their location, you can simply click the ‘Full text online' link and it will take you straight to the full text of the ebook where you can either download the book as a PDF or read it online.

1. To find books, we recommend that you start your search on the Library website. In this example let’s look for a book on the German city of Weimar by Michael Kater. .

2.Once you have found the book details, either take a photo of the screen or make a note of the classmark. In this case it is DD 901.W4 K38 .

3.Libraries use classmarks to group items of a similar subject together, which makes finding books on the shelves easier. Our classmarks are based on the Library of Congress Classification system. They consist of a mixture of letters, a whole number (the number before the point), and decimal numbers (all the numbers after the point). .

4.Let’s start with the first letters DD. This first section will bring you to the correct floor and rough location of where your book is. Here the first D stands for history and the second for German History. So we’ll know that all books whose classmarks start with DD are on that subject. 5. Once you have found this location you can then look at the next numbers. DD 901 indicates items on the history of German cities or towns. 6.The numbers or letters following the decimal points gives you even more details about the items. Here the W4 indicates the book is about the city of Weimar, whilst the K38 code stands for the author Michael Kater. 7.The numbers after the decimal point acts as decimal numbers. Let’s see a different example: here C4 will come after C35, but before C424. 8. To find out where to go, click on the location link or check the Library map located on each floor by the lifts. In this case, go to Floor 3 section D. 9. This is the broad subject area for your book. At the end of each stack you will see a guide that tells you which range of subjects are held there. The first and last classmark for each stack is also given here. Check to see if the classmark you’re looking falls between these two numbers. 10.Each book has a subject classmark on the spine. Please remember that books on the same subject will have the same classmark. 11. Once you have located the book you’re free to borrow it in most cases. Please remember that some books will be 3 Day Loans only and some will only be for use within the Library.

If you require further assistance, please ask a member of staff.

Hello, this video will show you how to find a specific journal article. First of all, make sure that you are signed in at the top of the page. Next, select the articles option above the library search box.

The example that we are going to be looking for is a discussion of the political potential for social accounting by Cooper from 2005. As you can see from the example search, you don't need to put all of the words of the title in, but it is helpful to put the surname of the author to get your results quickly. Click submit.

As you can see in the results, the article that we want is the first in the list. To connect to the full text of this article, click the full text online link to get to the full text where you can either download a PDF copy, or read the article online. Each journal platform will look different.

Sometimes you will see a PDF icon next to the full text online link. Click this to open a PDF of the article directly.

If you are unable to locate the article, you can try finding the journal and accessing the article that way. To do this, search instead for the journal. In this case the journal is called Critical Perspectives on Accounting, and in the results this time you will see all the articles from this journal.

On the left hand side, untick the journal articles box, and instead tick the journal/e-journal box. In the results now you will see the journal as the first result. You can see that we have the print journal and e-journal.

Click the full text online link to go to the journal page on the publisher’s platform. Once in the journal, you can either search for the article in the search box, or if you are unable to find it this way, click view all issues and search for the issue.

The volume number we need is volume 16 and the article number we need is issue 7. This is all information that you can find in the reference for the article. This will take us to a list of all of the articles that were published in that issue. Now we can scroll down until we find the article we want and click through to the full text that way.

As well as Library Search and Google Scholar, there are hundreds of subject specific databases available through the Library, which you can search to find trustworthy academic material.

To access these databases, first make sure that you're signed in at the top of the page. Then click the 'Databases' link just underneath the Library catalogue search. Our databases are ordered in subject order.

In this example, we're going to be searching using the search terms from the search strategies video, so the subject that we want to search is business. So, click the 'Business' link and click 'Business all databases'. There are a number of databases you can choose from to search. Some are more specific than others. In this example, we're going to use Business Source Ultimate.

Although all of the databases will look slightly different, there will always be a search option available somewhere near the top or in the middle. You can either do a basic search which will give you one search box or an advanced search which will give you multiple search boxes. The advanced search is particularly helpful if you're searching multiple terms. In this example, I'm going to be showing you how to combine some of the search terms that were explored in the search strategy video.

As you can see, we have put the different concepts into the different boxes. In the first box, 'higher education' is put into quotation marks to search it as a phrase. You can then combine that with 'HE' and 'university' using the connector 'OR' which will search for either 'higher education' OR 'HE' OR 'university'. In the second box, we have combined the terms 'globalisation' OR 'internationalisation' and we have put a question mark instead of the letter S in both words, which will find both variants of the spelling of that word. In the third box, we have combined the terms 'collaboration' OR 'partnership'. We have shortened the word collaboration with an * which will find either collaborate, collaboration or collaborative.

By putting the different concepts into separate boxes, now a search will combine the area of 'higher education OR HE OR university' with the subjects of 'globalisation OR internationalisation' with the concepts of 'collaboration OR partnership' so it will only retrieve articles which contain all of these ideas together.

The search is currently set to search the entire text of the article. If you want to limit it to get more relevant results, you can change using the drop down menu to just searching in the abstract and click search. As you can see, this reduces the number of results returned.

You can refine your search further using the left-hand refining menu. You might, for example, want to select only articles that are peer-reviewed therefore you know they're scholarly and will be useful for your academic assignments. You can see that this has reduced the number of results again. You may also want to limit your results by date so for example we could limit it to just the last 10 years, and again this has reduced the number of results we get.

To access the full text of these articles, click the button underneath each result. You may see Linked full text, PDF full text, HTML full text, or some combination of these options. You will then be redirected to the full text.

There may be some articles in our databases to which we do not have the full text access but you may be able to still request a copy through 'Get It For Me.' So if you feel the article will be particularly important to an assignment, please do try this, just click the link to the Get It For Me request form.

This is the mobile shelving on the third floor extension. There is further mobile shelving on the second floor extension.

You will find details of the content of the shelves on the end of each aisle. Before you use the shelving check between the open shelves that there are no other users or objects there.

To move the shelving first press any flashing red lights on the end of the aisles. Now press the directional arrow next to the row you wish to open. Wait for the shelving to stop completely before entering the aisle.

If the shelving begins to move when you are in the open aisle place your foot flat against the bottom of the shelving. By interrupting the beam temporarily you will stop the mobile shelving. If you need any further assistance locating or using th
