Lancaster Environment Centre: Finding books and eBooks

Most of your modules will have a reading list to help you find out more about your subject, and your tutors will guide you in what you need to read and when. Look for the green jigsaw icon in moodle. 

To find out how to find ebooks within OneSearch have a look at the short video tutorial below

Is there a book or other resource that we don't have that would make a useful addition to the library? If so, please use the Request a Resource form to let us know.

We welcome suggestions for both academic and leisure reading titles. We also encourage recommendations that might help to diversify our collection.

The library has a growing collection of leisure and well-being titles. 

In the library you'll find print titles at the beginning of the sequence on A-Floor and displayed on stands in the central atrium. You can also search OneSearch using the keywords LeisureReadingLU or WellbeingLU to view titles that are available in these collections, whether they be available in print or electronically.

We also have a specially curated online resource list linking to well-being titles.
