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 main collections of Spanish and Portuguese language and literature books can be found on Blue Area Floor 3. The main classification numbers are in the tables below.
Books relating to other languages spoken in Spain (eg, Basque, Catalan) are found in different sections (this is because they are considered to be Romance languages, according to the classification system we use). Look under 449.9 for Catalan language and 849.9 for Catalan literature. For Basque language, look under 491.691, and for Basque literature, 891.691.
Be aware that more language-teaching material is available in the University Language Centre - check the holdings in the ULC library catalogue.

Doctoral/Research Theses
Electronic versions of many open-access University of Manchester research theses, submitted from the 2010 session onwards, are available on Pure, the University of Manchester’s internal repository.
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.
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.
