Books on your reading list
Use
MetSearch to access online resources and find print resources in the Library. The majority of our print items can be borrowed for one week and will be renewed automatically unless requested by another borrower.
Finding journal articles
Most of the time you should be able to find and access the articles you need through MetSearch. However, we also provide access to databases that can help you to discover articles to further support your research. The Journals A-Z list will also enable you to find specific journals.
If we don't provide access to the full text of an article you need, you can request the item via the InterLibrary Loan link on MetSearch.
