Books

TUS Library gives you access to thousands of books in both print and digital formats. You can search for books using the Library Catalogue on the library homepage. Search by title, author ,subject, or keyword to locate the materials you need.

The library uses the Dewey Decimal Classification System to arrange print books by subject. Each book is assigned a Call Number based on its main topic. This number is printed on a label near the bottom of the spine and is also listed in the catalogue search results.

Once you’ve found your book in the catalogue, make a note of the Call Number (also known as a shelfmark). This will help you find the book on the shelves. Library signage will guide you to the correct section.

If you’re having difficulty locating a book, please speak to a member of library staff who will be happy to assist you.

If TUS Library doesn’t hold the item you need, we offer services to help you get it:

If a lecturer has recommended a book that is not available, please place a purchase suggestion in your library account.
