I need to access a book or journal from the Leather Collection. How do I do this?

You should be able to find all items from your Leather Technology or Leatherseller's Diploma reading lists at Waterside. The Leather Collection is made up of books and journals that are all about using leather and its products. If you need to access one of the these books or journals, use NELSON to search for it by title or author. You will then see a list of results, telling you where the item is located;

If the item is at Waterside, then please come along and borrow it or use it onsite in the normal way. We have a guide to explain where items can be found in the Learning Hub.

If the item says it is located at the "Waterside Leather Collection Store" this means that you will need to request an Inter-Library Loan as the store is currently inaccessible. 

The item I need is in storage, what do I do?

The collection in storage is currently unavailable due to be located in a building that has a flooded area, making the secure storage of the collection safe but inaccessible. We are happy to source items you need through Inter-Library Loan and you can also talk to use about what you need:

• our Chat service by clicking on the blue speech bubble at the bottom right of every page
• speaking with a member of library staff at the Library Help Desk, located on the second floor of the Learning Hub during staffed hours
• ask us a question using our 'Submit a Question' form
• call us on 01604 89 3089
