Recommendations The College Library aims to provide all works necessary for Part One courses, and a selection of the most important works required for Part Two. We receive reading lists from the departmental libraries in advance of each academic year, and continually update the Library collections in response to requests from directors of studies, supervisors and students. You can recommend an item by using the online recommendation form (www.joh.cam.ac.uk/item-recommendations) or by filling in a recommendation form at the Issue Desk. All reasonable requests will be considered. If texts you require for your course are not available in the College Library, please talk to a member of Library staff.
Staff If you have any difficulty in tracing the material you need, whether in printed or electronic format, please ask a member of Library staff for assistance. The Issue Desk is staffed Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.
