Founded in 1998 in Greenwich - in a small room tucked between a travel agent and a post office - anybook.com has grown over the past 25 years into a trusted partner for hundreds of academic libraries across the United Kingdom.
We specialise in giving withdrawn library stock a second life: selling books online and returning a portion of the profits directly to the libraries. Our goal is simple - to generate the maximum income from withdrawn stock so that libraries benefit as much as possible.
What we offer:
- We accept books with or without ISBNs, in any condition
- No charges for our services
- Collections using our own vans and drivers
- No need to send lists of books in advance
- Recycling only as a last resort — never landfill
- Complete flexibility: use our service as much or as little as you like, with no binding contracts
If you’re interested in working with us, we’d be delighted to hear from you.

Since our foundation as the first British School of Librarianship in 1919, UCL Department of Information Studies has consistently offered innovative, professionally grounded education that provides the ideal foundation for career progression. Taught in London, our award-winning programmes offer flexible modes of study at PhD, MA/PG Dip and BSc level. Our MA course is the first programme to be accredited by CILIP and ALA.
For those interested in furthering their knowledge and practice of information literacy, UCL is the natural choice. We are the only library school that offers a standalone information literacy module in both our MA/PgDip and BSc programme, complemented by work placements and research opportunities. For those ready to take their information literacy expertise to the highest level, our PhD programme offers a unique opportunity to pursue groundbreaking research under the guidance of internationally renowned Experts.
Areas of departmental expertise include academic, every-day, health, workplace and critical information literacy, theory and methods. Uniquely, all our faculty also draw upon professional library experience. Led by Dr Alison Hicks, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Information Literacy, our faculty is further strengthened through the scholarship of Darren Flynn and Dr Alice Corble, whose critical research exemplifies our commitment to socially-engaged, transformative education.
