- Divinity Faculty Library (University of Cambridge) closed until further notice
Special notice
All your lovely Divinity librarians are working from home now...
We continue to work hard for you, to improve e-access to books. Below and through our Twitter account at https://twitter.com/CamDivLib. we provide updates, and links to some of our online training. We will continue to support you as much as we can!
Ordering books
Until we are back in the Library, we will not be able to order any print books!
If you would like the University to order an ebook, could you please make this request to the UL?
- Use the UL's form at https://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/book-recommend (for requesting a single volume at a time)
- Email the UL colleagues via recommendations@lib.cam.ac.uk (for suggesting multiple titles).
Ebooks purchased before 18 March 2020
All ebooks which have been purchased before 18 March 2020 can be found via iDiscover. However, to ease browsability over 200 ebook titles are listed in a spreadsheet. Please be aware that titles bought as part of packages are not included here.
Ebooks requested / in progress (since Wed 18/3/2020)
We encourage all our students and staff to recommend ebooks, to ease access issues in our current situation.
If you would like to do recommend one, could you please first check the list made available below? It's a work in progress, and we will work hard, with the help of our UL ebooks colleagues, to get as many ebooks as possible, asap.
If the ebook is not listed, please order the ebook in the way outlined above (section "Ordering books"). It speeds things up if you can give an ISBN.
Many thanks for helping us to support you whilst we have to work without all available print books in our libraries.
