Library Catalogue: Finding a journal article

http:// unihub.mdx.ac.uk / study / library

• The Library Catalogue is a searchable database

• It includes all the materials (books, journals, videos, DVDs, CDs, dissertations, etc) held in Middlesex University Libraries

• Use the Library Catalogue to find out if we have what you are looking for e.g. a journal article you have been asked to read

• The Library Catalogue will tell you if the item is held by the Library, where you can find it and if it is available for loan

• Some items are electronic e.g. e-books and e-journals and the Library Catalogue will give you the link to access them online

• You can use the catalogue to request and renew books which you have on loan. Work Based Learners can request books for loan by post.
