About the English Collection

 

UHM Library's English Collection The English collection contains approximately 120,000 books and 300 periodicals and other serials supporting interests in English, as well as thousands of other books and journals in related fields. The general collection emphasizes English language publications but significant works of criticism in French and German are also acquired. Some material in Latin and the ancient Celtic languages are acquired for medieval studies.

 

Library Collection Policy Statement for English

 

Note:
The number of books was calculated by combining the title count from the Library of Congress Classification areas GR1-950, P151-325, PE, PN1-1551, PN3311-3503, PN4400-4500, PN6011-6790, PR, and PS. The figures are based on the 1997 North American Title Count, University of Hawaii at Manoa Library.
