How to Find and Borrow Books?
Find Books
- Use MIE Search to see if the item is available in the library.
- Click on the title and you’ll see its availability and location. If the book is available, take down the location and the call number. You’ll need all of that information to find the book on the shelf.
- If it’s not available you can reserve a copy.
Borrow Books
When you find the book you're looking for, you can borrow it using the Self-Service Issue Kiosk or by visiting the Library Desk on the ground floor.
