Please include title, author and call number of the items you require.
- Photocopying
- Give a list of your requirements, together with a contact phone number, to staff at the Level 2 Service Desk. When the material is ready, we will contact you and advise of the charges. If you have any special requirements e.g. enlarged copies, please let us know. Please note that we are bound by Copyright legislation.
- Searching
- Contact staff at the Level 2 Assignment and Research Help Desk if you require special assistance in searching databases.
- Tutorials
