Did you know that you could renew your books twice if they haven't been requested by another student?
And it works for DVDs and other types of documents too!

To renew, just go to the library's catalogue, and follow those simple steps.

And let us know if you have any problem!

Accessing eBooks

The library subscribes to a number of ebooks, especially some titles very in demand whose paper versions are often checked out.

You can access all of them through our catalogue and using your Shibboleth password.

But how exactly can you read them? Can you print and download them? And how to find them?

To answer your questions, here are two presentations for the two types of ebooks you might encounter amongst our collections.

How to find a document ? A tutorial

On this blog, we already have whole sections explaining how to find a book or an article.

But at the library, we just got a brand new software enabling us to create tutorials... So the temptation was too great: you will find here a brand new tutorial showing you how to find a document if you know its reference.

Try it out and tell us if you liked it!
