Collections
Our collections include over 1.2 million volumes, in addition to multimedia and other items. We also provide access to a wide range of reliable, subscription e-resources. Find out how to make the most of these resources by exploring our guides in the Finding information section, or go directly to information for your subject.
We are currently undertaking an ambitious project to re-profile all the Library's collections, to create a single, well-maintained and spacious Library at the heart of Whiteknights. Find out more by reading all about the Library Collections Project 2009-2013.
