Collections

Most Deaf Studies resources can be found in the Arts and Social Sciences Library. Other general education resources can be found in the Education Library in Berkeley Square. Use the Library catalogue to find the location of an item.

If you need an item which is not available anywhere in the library system here in print or online, you can use the Inter-Library Loans service to obtain it from another library. There is a charge for this service, though you may be able to obtain an Inter-library loan voucher to pay for this. See the information for undergraduates, postgraduates or academic staff for details of how to obtain these vouchers. Access to other university libraries and the British Library may be a useful alternative.
