loeb logoFollowing a very successful trial we have now subscribed to the Loeb Classical Library.

The Digital Loeb Classical Library contains more than 520 volumes of Latin, Greek and English texts aiming to be a virtual library of all that is important in Greek and Latin Literature, epic and lyric poetry, history, travel, philosophy and oratory, medical writers and mathematicians, and the Church Fathers who make particular use of pagan culture. Readers can browse, search, bookmark, annotate and use a Greek keyboard.

Access is available from our E-books A-Z lists as well as from several of our subject A-Z lists.  Individual records for each of the e-books will be made available in the new year once the publisher makes available catalogue records.
