Welcome To Your Library 2025/2026

The Moore Library

To support teaching and research at the University of Cambridge, the Betty & Gordon Moore Library provides the University’s major working collections in science and technology. This includes collections in mathematics, physics, astronomy, computer science, materials science, engineering, biological, chemical, earth and environmental sciences.

We have a range of online resources such as our Online Learning Hub and Physical Sciences LibGuide which feature everything from tips on productivity and research resources, to advice on wellbeing and ways to get help.

Our colleagues at Cambridge University Library have introduced more ways in which you can access their collections and spaces and you can find details of those here.

Our latest news updates are here and you can find the answers to some of the Library's other frequently asked questions (FAQs) here.

Read and Relax at the Moore Library

We have recently had a refurbishment of the ground floor, and have a large range of different study and recreation areas. Here, you can take a break, enjoy a coffee and a snack, chat with friends, hold supervisions and discuss work in groups.

Elsewhere in the library, we have bookable group Study Rooms, a quiet and comfy Acoustic Booth for you to make online calls or hold meetings, and cosy Study Pods.

We also have an excellent Fiction collection, and a Study Skills & Wellbeing section; we have jigsaws and games, and some cuddly Study Buddies to keep you company!
