Locating resources in the building
In order to be able to reliably find things in the Learning
Centre, you need to understand how to use the Library Catalogue and
how to understand the Dewey Decimal system.
The majority of our resources are listed on the Library
Catalogue, and all of our physical resources are organised
according to the Dewey Decimal system.
