How can I find a book or journal?

Use SurreySearch to explore our print and electronic collections, and to find the shelf mark for and location of physical books in the Library. If you are searching for items on a particular topic, use a keyword search. There is also a high-demand collection, located behind the Library Welcome Desk on Level 1 of the Library, which provides easy reference-only access to essential reading list items.

Help on finding and using information is available by subject area and in our 'How to' Guides, which cover a range of topics including:

  • How to find a book

  • How to access a journal article

  • How to find a journal title

  • How to request an InterLibrary loan

If you need help, please send your questions to the Library team via Surrey Support, or in person at the Library Welcome Desk (Level 1).
