Share To request a book for library stock you should begin by checking whether your school has a designated Library Representative. If this is the case, you should provide this representative with the details of the book(s) which you require, and they will duly pass your order on to the relevant Faculty Team Librarian (FTL). If your school does not have an official Library Representative, send these details to the FTL responsible for your subject area.

Once your request has been received by the Library, we will try to process any orders within a few days. However, please note that during busy periods (for example, during the weeks leading up to the new academic year) some delays are inevitable due to the large volume of books being processed.

If you would like to request a book for the Library's special collections, please contact special collections staff directly at jrul.special-collections@manchester.ac.uk.

Alternatively, you can contact the librarian associated with your course or discipline using the following email addresses:

• Faculty Team for Arts, Histories and Cultures, Languages, Linguistics and Cultures
• Faculty Team for Social Sciences, Environment and Development, Education, and Law
• Faculty Team for Manchester Business School
• Faculty Team for Engineering and Physical Sciences
