Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a book on the catalogue if I’m not sure of the title?
Using the “Keyword” search option type in any words you are sure in the title and any parts of the
author’s name you know.
Why do books that are on the catalogue sometimes not seem to be on the shelves?
As we have a junior and a senior library, you should check on the full record to see whereabouts
your book is located.
I’m looking for books on a specific topic but when I look on the catalogue there are no books
there?
Your search could be too specific so you should try and broaden it. For example, if you are looking for
books on glowworms you could broaden your search to worms or
insects.
Will I be charged fines for overdue books?
No, the QMC library does not charge for overdues.
However we do charge a replacement cost if a book is lost.
