2. Borrowing books
HGT books are for reference only but there are also books relevant to our research on the open shelves. Consult Webcat www-lib.soton.ac.uk, typing in the author or title or keyword. These books may be borrowed. If coming from a distance it is advisable to check to see if the book you require is in the library and not out on loan.
