Library search
Our library search defaults to searching the print and digital collections of all the University of Exeter libraries. If necessary, we can source items from across the globe.
After making an initial search you can use the filters on the left-hand side to narrow your search, for example, one or more of the following:
- campus
- library
- collection
- author
- year
- resource type
You can find further library search guidance online.
Watch a video for Penryn users of library search.
