About the Plant Sciences Library
Access to the Plant Sciences Library in person is limited to current members of the Department. If you are from outside of the Department of Plant Sciences and wish to visit, please contact us to discuss arrangements: plant@lib.cam.ac.uk.
Useful information on resources (print and online) and research support can be found on the Plant Sciences LibGuide.
Monographs, floras and taxonomic works are housed in the Cory and Herbarium Libraries.
We have also made an interactive introduction to the Library, with information on access, print and online resources, floorplans and more.
