Using the Library Catalogue and Shelfmarks: About your Library Catalogue

The Library Catalogue lists every book, pamphlet, print copy journal, DVD, media and many other resources in De Montfort University’s libraries and gives you all the information you need to locate and use those resources for your study. The catalogue offers a variety of features that can help you find and use the resources you need. You can also share information about those resources with other users by creating and saving lists of useful items, downloading item details to Refworks, social tagging, public lists and rating resources.

 If you want to search full-text journal articles, try using Library Search instead of the Library Catalogue. 

Clicking on the My Account tab at the top right of the catalogue search page leads you to a screen where you can:

• check your loans - renew any that are not reserved
• check whether you have any outstanding charges
• check your reservations
• check the progress of any inter library loan requests you have made
• view your loan history
• reset or change your Library PIN

 You will need to sign in using either your student/staff number without the P and your Library PIN, or your single sign on details.
