Library Service

Welcome to our new Master's students

Getting started

The University has three library services and each has its own website:

You can get a quick overview of all the services we offer from our Introduction to Library Services.

Use our website to access our databases, eJournals and eBooks, and to find details of our printed collection. Library Search is a great place to start, because it allows you to search across our printed collection and a broad selection of our online databases. We recommend you search specific databases individually when you need to find more targeted content relevant to your particular subject.

Use our click and collect service if you would like to borrow a print item from our collection. If we don't hold an item you need online or in print, we can try to get it for you from another library via our interlibrary loan service.

Learn online and in our teaching sessions

Please check your course timetable and make sure you come along to our sessions so that we can introduce you to our services and the resources you can access. You will also meet your Information Specialist who is familiar with your area of study and can help you with any in-depth searching or referencing questions you might have.

If you are a student in SATM or SWEE, we recommend that you complete our Discovering Quality Information eLearning before you come to the training session of the same name. It won’t take long but it will teach you about the different types of information you will need to use for your studies at Cranfield, and when they are useful. 

Our blog posts for new students

Here we highlight the five most recent posts for new students. You are welcome to read a wider range, but please be aware that posts from previous years may no longer be accurate given the current situation with COVID-19. Also, each library has differences in services and procedures so check your library is tagged in a post to be sure that it is relevant to you.
