You can also sign up to our webinar for guidance on how you can develop your search skills.

We buy relevant titles in both print and ebook versions. All titles are listed in on Onesearch or look for recommended texts on your module Reading List. Reading for university study may feel slightly daunting so try working out the best approach for you using the tips on our Reading page.

Campus Libraries

For students studying on campus you are welcome to visit our Fusehill Street and Lancaster campus libraries and browse our shelves for books on project management.  Project Management books are usually located on the shelves at shelfmark number 658.404. 

You can look up titles before you visit on Onesearch and if you wish place a request to collect a title during your visit.   Contact our friendly staff whilst planning for your visit or whilst on campus pop into the library and ask at the library desk. 

Studying online

A couple of options if you would like to use print books but live away from our campuses:

• You can sign up for our postal loan service 

or

• You can visit other university libraries in your own area using the Sconul Access scheme.  This allows you to borrow books from these libraries if they have any bookstock relevant to your subject. Check their library catalogues before travelling.  Some university libraries also allow you to join as 'external users' in addition to Sconul eg Portsmouth University

Ebooks

Many titles are available as ebooks. Check on or your module . See the ebooks banner on this page  for details about how to get the best out of ebooks and how to use accessability features.  

Any queries about books and ebooks please contact the library or use the Student Enquiry Point.
