How do I use Library Catalogue (OPAC) to find printed books in the Library?

To check the availability of any item you would like to borrow, please go to Library Catalogue System via https://opac.xjtlu.edu.cn. 

Step 1: Login at "My Lib" in the Library Catalogue System using your XJTLU username and password to check your library account information.

Step 2: Simply search the catalogue using key words relevant to your desired item (title, author, subject etc.). 

Step 3: Click on your desired item in the search results to see its specific information such as call number, location and status. 

Step 4: The specific information tells you where the book is located and if it is available; If the book is available, please click the link “Locate This Book” and then use the bookshelf layout and book’s call number to locate it on the library’s bookshelves.

Please NOTE:

1. If all the copies of the book are on loan and you still wish to borrow it, please refer to the "Reservation" function to request the item. Check the related FAQs below to learn more about it.

2. If all copies of the item you want to borrow are not available or they are on loan on your campus, and the item on other campuses is in the status of “in stock” ; or if the item you need is from “Restricted Resources”, please use "Inter-Branch Delivery" to request the item. Check the related FAQs below to learn more about it.
