Getting started with the library

DBS Library is located on the second floor of the Aungier Street Building.  
 

There's two ways to access the library's resources:

In order to borrow books, all you need is your staff card which is also your library card!
Library staff can set you up with a Library account to borrow books at the desk.
Staff can borrow 15 items and renew items 8 times, unless they are reserved by another user.
Accessing the Library's electronic resources is done by using your Moodle login and password.


Chat with a librarian

You can reach the library staff directly using our chat in the right bottom corner of the webpage. Once you click on it, the chat asks that you validate your Student ID number. This option won't work with your staff number. Instead, click on the three bars and select "Transfer to agent".
