New Academic Staff: Welcome

Use Library Search to find and access quality academic resources.

If we don't have a journal paper or book you need then we get it. This is free. See our Inter library loans guide.

If you think we should buy a book for the library, tell us via the Suggest a book form for your campus.

If you want us to subscribe to a new journal (which can be expensive) please ask your Liaison Librarian.

• Set up Middlesex University as your library in Scholar Settings for free access to the Full Text.
• Use Inter Library Loan service to get papers we don't have, free of charge.
• Use Library Search if you need a quick search of the resources we have.
