Welcome to Cambridge from the Marshall Library Team. My name is Clare Trowell and I am the Marshall Librarian. We are here to provide all your resources to support you course in Economics. The Marshall Library has a wonderful collection of materials in Economics and Development Studies both in print and online. We also hold the Archives of Alfred Marshall and other key figures from Cambridge Economics.
You can find the Marshall Library on the Sidgwick Site in the Faculty of Economics Austin Robinson Building. You can see what the exterior of the Marshall Library looks like in the picture at the head of this blogpost. Here it is on the University of Cambridge Map: https://map.cam.ac.uk/Austin+Robinson+Building#52.201273,0.108442,18
Due to the current situation with the Covid-19 pandemic unfortunately we are not able to open our beautiful study space safely to readers but during Michaelmas Term we will be running
Zero Contact Services.
These services will include:
- Click & Collect for borrowing
- Book Return via the Book Drop
- Scanning of key teaching materials, which are made available via Moodle, the virtual learning environment.
Most of our resources such as journals, bibliographic databases, many of the key ebooks and datasets are provided online. You can learn more about the Library and our services on our website:
https://www.marshall.econ.cam.ac.uk/
To find books you want to borrow via Click & Collect you need to understand how to search our catalogue: iDiscover. You will have received a copy of the iDiscover worksheet and a leaflet explaining the Zero Contact services at Induction - please read them carefully.
If a book is available as an ebook you will see that flagged up on the catalogue.
If you cannot find a book you need please contact the Marshall Library either by email: marshlib@hermes.cam.ac.uk or fill out the book request form: https://www.marshall.econ.cam.ac.uk/contactus/book-purchase-suggestion-form
