MoreBooks@Bham makes it easier for Students to suggest books to the Library.
Our 3 Goals
1. Diversify: to diversify our collection and increase the range of books we stock by BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic), LGBTQ+ and disabled authors. Recommendations that amplify, celebrate and tell the history of under-represented groups are also most welcome.
2. Support: to support students at the University by increasing our wellbeing and study success collections.
3. Supplement: to supplement core reading with modern, academic material that enables students to read around their subject more widely and to make connections/explore new areas of inquiry.
