Grammar

Of or compound : Glasgow University Library ; University of Glasgow Library ; Library of the University of Glasgow?

Hello,

Could you please tell me which of these phrases is correct (in Br. En. and in Am. En)? If more than one is, what is the difference?

1. Glasgow University Library

2. University of Glasgow Library

3. Library of the University of Glasgow

Things are clear when the name of the University is like a trademark and has nothing to do with the city, i.e. Columbia University Library, Columbia University Law School, but less so when we're talking about a city.

I am also wondering if/when the article THE is necessary (in a CV, or a signature for instance?).

Could you please help me?

With many thanks,

Miranda

Thank you.


Is it only linked to the name of the University or is there a rule about this (and a difference in meaning?)?


For example: I can't figure out when we say University of San Diego Library or San Diego University Library.


Thnaks for your help.
