 The Templeman Library (named after Dr Geoffrey Templeman, the University's first
Vice-Chancellor) contains over a million items in stock including books, journals, videos, DVDs, and archive materials (for example, a full text of The Times from 1785
onwards), yet it is still only half its planned size. It has a materials fund of approximately £1million a year, and adds 12,000 items every year.
It is open every day in term time. It receives 800,000 visits a year, with approximately half a million loans per annum.
It also houses the British Cartoon Archive, (established 1975) a
national collection of, mainly, newspaper cartoons, with over 90,000 images catalogued.
