You will find most of the print law books on the second floor of The Sir Michael Cobham Library. We also have thousands of law e-books, which you can access both on- and off-campus. Law books date quickly, so make sure you are using the latest edition!
mySearch is an interface which allows you to search across a range of library resources simultaneously, including books, journal articles and databases.
To find a print book, make a note of the shelfmark (numbers and letters), e.g. 349.42/SLA. Take these details to the library shelves and use the shelfmark to locate the book in the sequence. The shelfmark label is at the bottom of a book's spine.
The Advanced search screen allows you to run a more targeted search. Help with searching is available from mySearch help
