You can find encyclopaedias and dictionaries in the Blue 3 Reference Collection. You can find copies of some core reading material in the High Demand Collection on Blue Ground.
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.
The following titles reflect the most recent textbooks purchased by the University of Manchester Library for your studies and research.

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.
You can find further information on theses held at the University of Manchester and elsewhere on our theses guide.
