Collections

Although the Department of Exercise, Nutrition and Health Sciences is in the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences, the topics it is concerned with are frequently of a medical or scientific nature.  As a result, you may find resources of interest in a number of our branch  libraries.  Remember you may borrow material from any of them.

• The Arts and Social Sciences Library, which is close to the Department, holds much relevant material, with many of the core works being found at classmarks RA, RC, RJ, RM and TX.
• The Medical Library will certainly also have resources of use to you on the subjects of nutrition, diet, physical activity and community health.
  

If you need an item which is not available anywhere in the library system here in print or online, you can use the Inter-Library Loans service to obtain it from another library. There is a charge for this service, though you may be able to obtain an Inter-library loan voucher to pay for this. See the information for  postgraduates or academic staff for details of how to obtain these vouchers. Access to other university libraries and the British Library may be a useful alternative.

New books

• See the information for  postgraduates or academic staff for details of how to recommend the purchase of new books, or other materials.

Course based materials

Materials to support Exercise, Nutrition and Health courses are available in the Arts & Social Sciences Library. Recommended textbooks (books in high demand for essays, for example) are kept in the Short Loan Collection (SLC).

Thesis collection

University of Bristol  PhD theses are held in the Arts and Social Sciences Library thesis collection, kept in a locked cage on the first floor.  They may be consulted within the library, and you will need to complete a slip for each one.  Please ask at the library issue desk.
