Useful Links
There are a huge amount of online resources on Buddhism! Our own list is still being compiled. If you have any suggestions, please contact Dave. All suggestions appreciated!
Our Library
The society has two libraries, one is "mobile" (but heavy) and we bring parts of it to meetings. The other is housed in the Oriental Studies Library, and members of the society can use these books even if they are not studying Oriental Studies.
The Mobile Library and tapes
Books held in the Oriental Studies Library
Journals held in the Oriental Studies Library
Access to the Oriental Studies Library
All members of the university have access to the Oriental Studies Library with their University Card (UL card), and if you register, you can then take books out as well. The Oriental Studies Library is on Sidgewick Site, off Silver Street (opposite Newnham College).
The Mobile Library - books
You need to be a member of the society in order to take books or tapes out of the mobile library.
