The Library uses the Dewey Decimal Classification scheme (Dewey for short) to arrange books and other resources on the shelves so you can locate them easily. We're going to show you how to use Dewey to find a book at any Library site.
The University of Manchester Library has an extensive collection of printed books and journals relevant to members of the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work.
As well as Library Main Library and site libraries, a number of NHS Trust libraries are available for you to use during your clinical practice.
Books
The main collection of books for health related subjects such as Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing and Midwifery is located largely in Blue 3 at the Main Library. However, relevant course material and related reading is to be found throughout the library e.g. ethics material is mainly on Blue 2, it is recommended therefore that Library Search should be used to locate books.
Journals
Nursing periodicals are shelved at the Main Library (Green Area Floor 1) along with the other Clinical Science Journals. Always use the catalogue to check the location of the book or periodical you require.
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.
