Print Books

Books are a good starting point for your research and give an excellent overview of a topic. Most Psychology books are kept at Llandaff Learning Centre, with some at Cyncoed. Books can be found by searching MetSearch or in Reading Lists that your tutor provides on Moodle. For more information, see our dedicated guide to 'Using MetSearch'.

The key shelf number (location) for this subject is 150, found on the book spine and end of aisle signage. See the useful shelf numbers box to the right for more locations relevant to your subject.

Library helpdesks are situated on each floor of our Learning Centres at Llandaff and Cyncoed. Our Library staff can help you find books. Just ask.

Ebooks

There are thousands of ebooks on MetSearch and, unlike print books, are available anywhere at anytime. Ebooks offer a range of features when reading online, including notes, changing text size, downloading and printing. For more information, see our dedicated guide to Searching for Books and Ebooks, which includes how to reserve books.

How can you tell if a book is available online?

In your MetSearch results, Available at means the book is available in print. Online access means it's an ebook.
