About the Collection

The Undergraduate library houses more than 2,000 manga and graphic novels in the lower level. This collection aims to be as variant as the format itself, covering genres such as: mystery, romance, science fiction, fantasy, and more. While the majority of our collection contains titles from America and Britain, we are always looking for ways to diversify toward a global representation of the medium. This collection is currently adding more non-English manga and graphic novels, and titles from independent/ small press publishers. Our hope is to support the curricular needs and research interests of the University. If there are titles or series you'd like to see added to our collection, please feel free to select a purchase! Below are some tips on how to find graphic novels on campus and how to request a new title or series for purchase. We appreciate any and all suggestions to improve our collections and our service.

UGL's graphic novels collection is located in PN-PQ section of the lower level and spans the PN6700 call number range. Below is a map of the lower level.
