Where to find books and ebooks in DCU Library

Print collections

The majority of DCU Library collections relating to the subject of education are located in Cregan library on DCU's St Patrick's campus in Drumcondra. Depending on your course of study, you are likely to find what you need in our Main Collection (2nd floor) or in our Teaching and Junior Collections (1st floor). Search Library Search by author, title or subject for specific books.

You'll need the shelf mark of a book and the library's floor plan to locate a print book on the shelf. Watch our 'Locating books on the shelf' video below for a short demonstration. Click here to find out more about borrowing, returning, reserving and renewing books.

Ebook collections

DCU Library has over 150,000 e-books in its collections and this number is increasing all the time. You can find them easily by performing a title/author/subject search on Library Search and then restrict the search results to "online resources" and "books" using the search filters on the left side of the results screen. Click on the link in the book record and you can read the book online or download to your device. Watch our 'finding and accessing ebooks' video below for a short demonstration.
