If an item is held in Special Collections the location on Library Search will be “Special Collections (McClay Library)”. To limit the results of a Library catalogue search to material in Special Collections only, enter your search term and limit results to “Special Collections (McClay Library)” using the Location filter on the left-hand side of the results page.

If you are working from the shelf mark only, any of the following prefixes indicate that the volume you require is held in Special Collections: h, w, y, x, e, t, 5Z, SC, Percy, Daly, MacD, Moore, Simms, O'Rahilly, Harty, Wright.

Please visit our Book Collections web page for additional information.
