Library help you'll find on this page:

Library & Textual Resources:

• The UK Libraries
  • Searchable archive of recent Classics-related acquisitions (maintained by J. Francis)
  • Search the web-based catalog for UK library holdings
  • On-line Reference Materials
  • Academic Subject Guide to the Web (warning: the Classics section of this guide offers only a very incomplete and arbitrary selection.)
  • Guides to Classics-related databases under the control of Young Library: the UK Libraries have a number of resources available for classics faculty and students. Unfortunately they require that many of these must be used within the library; however, some are available from other locations on campus via the Internet or from off-campus locations through the UK proxy server.
