I still have money left in my physics and maths budgets for the Central Library collections.

So please, if there are any books out there – that would be useful for any research or teaching within your research area (including books to support undergraduate projects) – please let me know so I can purchase them.

See the other two pages of this blog to find out what books are currently being published.

I have noticed that a number of people have been struggling to find electronic copies of journal articles that they are trying to find. As such, I decided that it would be worth putting together a quick guide on how to search for the full text of a specific journal article.

Please take a look at the document below and see if this helps. If you are still not sure what you should be doing, please let me know and I can sit down with you and run through the process in more detail.
