Welcome to Bradford College Library
We hope you find this guide useful during your time at Bradford College.
Get in touch if you would like any more information about anything to do with using the Library or for details on how we can help you with your studies.
Find books from your reading lists by using the Library Catalogue. You can also browse the catalogue by entering keywords that best describe your subject. You can sort your results by relevance, or list the most recent publications first.
Once you have found your book and noted down the title, location and shelfmark, you can find the book on the shelves in the Library, look for the signs showing you what shelfmarks are where in the Library. If you can't find what you are looking for or it says the item is in the stack ask at the Information Desk.
If you don't know the exact book you would like to borrow, just ask at the Information Desk.
Please Note: You will need to have your College ID Card to borrow books from the Library.
We have areas for quiet study in the library. You can also book single and group study rooms at the Library Information Desk, or call 01274 088257. You also can book these up to one week in advance. Rooms can be booked for up to 2 hours.
As a student at Bradford College you have access to a wide range of electronic resources to help you find information relating to your studies, from the full text of journals to online books and reports.
