Science Library - Environment

The environment and the way in which man interacts with it, is becoming of increasing interest to many people. Environmental groups have been campaigning for many years, warning of the dangers of dwindling natural resources and the release of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. Now, with the increase in extreme weather conditions and more people suffering from environment related health problems, such as asthma, the world at large is becoming more aware of the need for urgent action to counteract these effects.

The Environment Collection is based within Information Services and located on the 5th floor of Birmingham Central Library. It aims to provide up-to-date material on a wide range of environmental issues and topics. The collection consists of books, journals and pamphlets aimed at all levels from the general reader to those studying environmental science at undergraduate level.
