What is this guide for?This guide has been developed to help signpost useful information during the University closure. Although the physical libraries may be closed we are very much open online and this guide brings together a range of useful resources from across the Physical Sciences libraries in one handy place. The site itself is still evolving with new content added as it is made available so please check back frequently for the latest updates.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact us and we will do our best to help.
Use the quick links below to jump straight to the information you need:
Essential information on how to access electronic resources such as ejournals and ebooks from home as well as other key sources of open information.
Key databases you can use including a summary of the most common physical sciences databases.
Contact details for libraries and librarians in the physical sciences as well as other ways you can reach out and get one-to-one help. Hint: there are many!
