When you leave university, you may no longer have automatic access to scholarly resources through the University of Birmingham’s libraries and online resources. See Library Services at University of Birmingham to see what access to UoB libraries is available after you graduate or retire.
Many professional organisations and other institutions have physical and online libraries, and some of these organisations also allow non-members to access their libraries.
Large public libraries have specialist departments, for example business libraries. Many libraries offer interlibrary loans but you will have to pay a small charge per item.
This guide lists many of the libraries that you might like to join or visit to help you keep in touch with your subject for both professional and personal interest.
An increasing number of scholarly journals and some ebooks are available online through open access.
