You can find printed periodicals arranged alphabetically beginning on Purple 4, and continuing on to Orange 4. There is an alphabetical list to all the electronic journals to which the Library subscribes, in all subject areas. Most e-resources are available only to University of Manchester staff and students.
It is worthwhile carrying out a search on Google Books to see if a book is available to view online.
If you have a reading list for your course and the books are in use by other students, you can check to see if it has been fully or partially digitised by Google.
The University of Manchester Library is one of the largest subscribers to e-journals and databases in the UK but we don’t have access to everything.
If you find that we don’t hold a book, report, journal article or conference paper that you need, you can use our Inter-Library Loans service.
You can find further information on theses held at the University of Manchester and elsewhere on our theses guide.
