Catalogues
Unicorn
Unicorn gives details of almost all items acquired by the Library. This includes printed books, e-books, printed journals, e-journals, atlases, maps, and many other types of printed and multimedia material. Some items acquired before 1979 only have brief entries on the catalogue. Rare books held by Special Collections and acquired before 1979 might appear in the Online Card Catalogue but not on Unicorn.
E-journals Finder
Use the E-journals Finder to search or browse lists of our online periodicals. It is more up-to-date than Unicorn and just includes e-journals.
Enterprise
Enterprise is the University collections discovery service. Use it to search across the book, journal, archive and object collections of the University Library, Special Collections and Museum of English Rural Life (MERL).
Online Card Catalogue
The Online Card Catalogue contains scanned images of the Library's card catalogue as it stood in the summer of 2005. Use it to find items acquired before 1979.
Map Card Catalogue
The Map Card Catalogue is located on the 2nd Floor of the University Library, adjacent to the map cabinets. It lists acquisitions up to 1993 by geographical area. More recent acquisitions are catalogued on Unicorn.
