Information for academics

Contacts and liaison

  • Your subject contact is the Subject Librarian for German, Damien McManus.
  • Feedback about library collections and resources are welcomed by your Subject Librarian and your departmental library contact, Dr. Steffan Davies.
  • New academic staff are welcome to contact the Subject Librarian to arrange a session on how the Library can help them.

Subject resources

  • Book purchase recommendations and suggestions for new journals or databases can be made direct to the Subject Librarian, though in the latter case it is best to also discuss the matter with the departmental library contact, Dr. Steffan Davies.
  • The collections page gives details of the German related collections in the libraries, and advice on using other university libraries and the British Library.

Inter-library loan vouchers

  • If you need an item which is not available anywhere in the library system here, you can use the Inter-library Loans Service to obtain it from another library. German department staff can obtain inter-library loan vouchers from the School of Modern Languages Office.

Library training

  • Damien will be pleased to discuss your or your students' library training requirements.
  • New members of staff will be offered an introduction to the library.
