The University of Manchester Library is The University of Manchester's library and information service. It was established in 1824 as the library of the Manchester Mechanics' Institute which later became the library of the University of Manchester Institute of Science & Technology (UMIST). One of the Institute's first actions was to establish a library, with a full-time librarian, at premises in King St., Manchester. In 1851 the library of Owens College was established at Cobden House on Quay Street, Manchester. This later became the Manchester University Library (of the Victoria University of Manchester) in 1904. In July 1972 this library merged with the John Rylands Library to become the John Rylands University Library of Manchester (JRULM). 〔''Guardian, The'' (London); 20 July 1972〕〔''Manchester Evening News''; 19 July 1972〕 On 1 October 2004 the library of the Victoria University of Manchester merged with the library of UMIST forming the John Rylands University Library (JRUL). The library changed its name in the summer of 2012 to become The University of Manchester Library. The main library is on the Oxford Road campus of the University with its entrance on Burlington Street. The library is one of only five National Research Libraries - an award of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), and the only one in the north of England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Related collections )〕 It is a member of the North West Academic Libraries consortium (NoWAL) and of Research Libraries UK consortium (RLUK).
