Once you have found your item listed on Library Search, you need to note which library stocks the item (Main, Deiniol, Normal, Welsh, Maelor etc.).  The location should tell you which library stocks the item and in which section within that library it will be located (pamphlet, large book, journal etc.).

 

The books are kept in Library of Congress classification order. The call numbers begin with a letter and run alphabetically with each broad subject grouping allocated its own letter.  The letter and number that follow the first letter narrow down the subject. No two books have exactly the same call number.

You can have your dissertation bound at the University Bindery which is located on the Normal Site on Holyhead Road.  Click here for further details. 

You can:

• Search the Catalogue (Live Search)
• Use ‘Library Chat’ to ask a reference question online

These are commands which allow you to combine search terms to broaden or limit your search. The terms supported in this catalogue include AND, OR, NOT and NEAR.

• AND combines two or more keywords, limiting your search, for example:
  Peacocks AND Paradise will produce results containing both these search terms, e.g. Peacocks in Paradise.
• OR will produce results with either search term in the title, broadening your search, for example:
  Peacocks OR Paradise will produce results including Peacocks in Paradise and Paradise Lost.
• NOT will exclude a term from your search, making your search more specific, for example:
  Milton, John NOT Paradise Lost will produce a list of works by Milton not including Paradise Lost.
• NEAR will produce results where your search terms are within five words of each other, for example:
  History NEAR Britain will produce a list of results including Geoffrey of Monmouth, The History of the Kings of Britain

Students can register with the Sconul Access scheme which can give you access to participating University Libraries throughout the UK.  Staff and Postgraduates are generally offered borrowing privileges at participating libraries whilst undergraduates are largely restricted to reference use only. 

 

Bangor University also participates in the Linc-y-Gogledd scheme which is a reciprocal borrowing scheme between Public Libraries and Further and Higher Education Institution Libraries across the whole of North Wales where you can request items to be delivered to your own Library from participating Libraries.

 

Bangor University students can also make use of Glyndwr University Library in Wrexham to borrow and return items in person.  To borrow in person at Glyndwr, you will need to print out a Linc-y-Gogledd application form, have it filled in, stamped and verified by your home library.  You then need to present the form at Glyndwr Library, along with your Bangor University student card, where you will be issued with a borrower card that will allow you to borrow 2 items for 2 weeks at a time.

If you have lost an item from the Library, we will expect you to pay a fee to cover the cost of purchasing a new copy plus a fee to cover the processing cost.  It is not acceptable for you to provide your own replacement copy.  Please report any lost books to the customer services desk and the staff will process a bill for you which will be added to your library account.

To cope with the heavy demand for particularly popular books, a Short Loan Collection is available in each of the University branch libraries. 

The Short Loan collection consists of books that are set as essential reading by teaching staff for their modules. As these items are in heavy demand they have a shorter loan period than ordinary items. 

All short loan items are listed on the library catalogue as having “1 Day or 3 Day Short Loan" as their location and can be found on the regular library shelves in all branch libraries other than Deiniol, where they are held in the Short Loan room. Please ask for assistance if you are unable to find these.

Please note: Short Loan items do not automatically renew and incur heavy fees for late return.

Periods and penalties

Short Loan Period               Penalty
24 hour loan                         £2.00 per hour for first two hrs and then 50p for a part of any hour thereafter
3 day loan                            50p per day

Your search can be carefully tailored, using Boolean commands.

Wildcards stand in for missing characters. They are useful if you want to search for variant spellings.

• Use ? when you want to specify the number of missing characters; use as many ?s as there are missing characters, for example: colo?r will find colour and color but not collector.
• Use * to represent an unspecified number of missing characters, for example: colo*r will find colour, color, collector etc.
• You can use truncation at the beginning and end of words, for example: librar* will find library, librarian etc. librar? will only find library. *arm will find farm, harm, charm etc.

Your Academic Support Librarian would be able to help you with any aspect of your search strategy.  Please email or telephone us to ask for assistance.
