Biological Sciences teaching and support is delivered by multiple departments across the University of Cambridge. Thankfully there is one dedicated Biological Sciences Libraries Team to help navigate this sometimes complex landscape. Information about specific subjects and their associated library services can be found below. For study skills and teaching resources provided by the Biological Sciences Libraries team, please visit the Study Skills section of this guide.
With lots of libraries dotted across Cambridge, it can be difficult to get to them all, so check out our virtual library induction from the Biological Sciences Libraries Team.
You can find the many Biological Sciences reading lists on our online reading list tool, as well as through your dedicated Moodle course pages. Alternatively you can find many lists on the Biological Sciences Libraries recommended reading page.
Please note, some lists might be restricted to current students only, due to copyrighted materials.
