Library resources
The University of Manchester Library has an important role to play in supporting your teaching and research by providing access to all relevant services.
We want to take an active role in helping you and enhance the university academic programmes by delivering resources and services which will be essential to you and your students. We also aim to offer guidance and advice to support your research priorities through the provision of a range of tailored and specialised services.
There is a dedicated Faculty Engagement Librarian for your School who is your first point of contact in the library and will work with you to ensure that the Library is meeting your teaching and research needs.
