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.
