Finding Books in the Library

As Dewey is a numerical system the books are arranged on the shelves in numerical order. The following is the ten main classes of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system.

000 Computer science, information & general works
100 Philosophy & psychology
200 Religion

600 Technology

Finding eBooks

The library has access to over 280,000 online books via a number of eBook collections to read and download for free. eBooks can be accessed from any device that has an Internet connection, so you don’t need to be in the Library to read them.

You can search all our eBook collections here or you can search individual collections by clicking on a collection title:

Can't Find What You Are Looking For?

We have thousands of books, journal articles and reports in print and online but we don't have access to everything. So, if you find that we don’t hold an item that you need, you can use our Document Supply Service. This service provides access to books and journal articles which are held at other libraries in the Ireland and overseas.
