Help with the Library collection

Do you hold this book?
All our books are listed in the online catalogue. You can check to see if we hold the book, whether it is available to borrow, or if it is already on loan to someone else.

Do you hold this journal?
All journals (print and electronic), serials, magazines and newspapers are listed in the online catalogue.

Do you hold this thesis?
The Library holds theses in the Rare Books and Special Collections Library. For more information and to find theses, use our Theses@Sydney pages.

Why isn't the book on the shelf?
The online catalogue contains detailed information about the location of books in the Library. The Library is made up of several libraries and collections. Make sure you are looking in the right library or collection. The Status of the book in the catalogue also tells you if the book is out on loan and other information. Ask Library staff for help if you still cannot find an item on the shelves. You can fill in a 'Missing Item Report' and we will contact you when the item is found.

The catalogue says "Check Shelf" but the book is not there.
There are many reasons why the book may not be on the shelf, but still within the Library - someone may be using it, photocopying from it, or about to borrow it. Also it may be recently returned and waiting to be reshelved. Have another look in a couple of days to see if the book has been put back, if not ask Library staff for help.

What exam papers do you have?
The Library receives some exam papers, which are available as PDF files on our web site. Not all exam papers are available.
