You can normally search the library catalogue for books by title, author or key words. If you know the item that you are looking for, it is easiest to use the author, or even better, the title. If you are looking for a chapter within a book, make sure that you type in the title of the book, not the title of the chapter. For example, for item 3 in Exercise 1, type An introduction to bilingualism: Principles and processes into the search box.

Glossary

recall If a library recalls a book, it asks the person who has borrowed it to return it.

The catalogue will show you whether the book is available and where you can find it. Sometimes several books with the same title will be listed. This may be because several editions of the book are available or because the library holds both a print and electronic version of the book. For print books, select the book you want and make a note of the location and any identification code given to the book by the library. This might be referred to as a ‘call number’, ‘shelf-mark’ or similar term. This code will give you information about the section of the library where the book is located.

If the catalogue indicates that the book is ‘on loan’ you may be able to recall it, either electronically or by requesting this service at your library help desk.
