Civil and environmental engineering: Using other libraries

When conducting specialist research, the Library may not always stock everything you need. If this happens, you have a number of options available on the Searching and using other libraries web page, including:

• Join SCONUL Access. This scheme will give you access to print resources in other university libraries in the UK and Ireland.
• Find out which university has the book you need - see our Using and searching other libraries information for further help.
• Use the British Library for reference purposes. You will need to register for a Reader Pass. For further information on access to the British Library, including opening hours, please consult the British Library website.
• Apply for an Inter Library Loan.

Before you visit another library

If you do plan to visit another library, please check first of all that we do not have the item you need. Advice on using the library can be found on our Finding Information page. Alternatively, please ask a member of staff at the Helpdesk or contact the Academic Liaison Librarian for your Department.

Remember, if the item you need is on a reading list, we will make every effort to purchase this for the Library, so please let us know the details.

Where there are specific libraries of interest for your subject, these will be listed below.
