Finding a book

Use the Catalogue to search for books or the SEARCH ALL tab on the library home page

When you search, note the following:

  • Location: Is the book in Limerick or Thurles? In some cases we have the same book in both campuses so make sure to check
  • Shelfmark/Call Number: This is the Dewey number and three letters to help you find the book on the shelf
  • Status: Is the book available or on loan? Remember if a book is on loan, you can reserve it using your library account
