A message from Bodley’s Librarian and Director<br />
of Oxford University Library Services<br />
Dear Reader,<br />
You will find here a universe of knowledge to discover. Whether you explore<br />
one or more of Oxford’s 100 libraries or visit the libraries online, you’ll be<br />
encountering one of the world’s greatest resources. We hold collectively<br />
11 million volumes, and we also offer more access to online publications<br />
and databases than any other academic institution in the UK. A partner<br />
in Google’s Book Search initiative, we have scanned many of our 19th<br />
century books, and we offer over 200,000 titles in our Early English Books<br />
Online and the Eighteenth Century Collections Online. Oxford’s Digital Library is only an introduction<br />
to our extraordinary holdings. Among our treasures are four copies of the Magna Carta, a copy of the<br />
Gutenberg Bible, and the archives of great writers such as Franz Kafka and J R R Tolkien. In 2009-10<br />
we’ll be exhibiting some examples of our distinguished holdings, including a selection of our Hebraica<br />
holdings and rare books, manuscripts, objects from the archives of Percy and Mary Shelley, and others of<br />
the Romantic period as well.<br />
In addition to our collections and web services, you’ll find a variety of appealing spaces in which to study<br />
or conduct research. College libraries are invaluable for students and fellows, and many permit 24-hour<br />
access. The <strong>Bodleian</strong> Library and the associated libraries that comprise the Oxford University Library<br />
Services support all members of the University of Oxford and welcome scholars from around the world.<br />
Founded in 1602, the <strong>Bodleian</strong> is the centre of advanced humanities research. The Social Science Library<br />
is the University’s busiest library, with over 7,500 users during a single week in Trinity Term. The Radcliffe<br />
Science Library has opened its doors not only to scientists and engineers, but will also, for the next four<br />
years, provide a Special Collections reading room during the renovation of the New <strong>Bodleian</strong> Library.<br />
Oxford University Library Services is about to embark on an historic transformation of its services. A book storage<br />
facility that will be constructed in 2009-10 will house several million volumes, and the New <strong>Bodleian</strong> will be<br />
reconfigured into a Special Collections library and public exhibition space. In the process, two-thirds of libraries’<br />
holdings and almost 40% of its staff will move to temporary and new locations. Our goal is to minimise the<br />
disruption to readers, but I suspect, if I am realistic, there will be some infelicities. Other institutions have closed<br />
their libraries or warned of sharply reduced services during similar renovations. We have chosen to continue our<br />
service without significant interruption, but I want to ask for your patience if you encounter difficulties associated<br />
with the move.<br />
I invite you and indeed encourage you to take advantage of all Oxford’s libraries have to offer. You’ll<br />
have an opportunity to delve into our unparalleled collections, to use our diverse spaces, and to enjoy<br />
specialized services, all assembled for your benefit.<br />
Our goal is to be one of the best university library service in the world. We endeavour to innovate and develop our<br />
services and collections continuously in order to improve our users’ and readers’ research and learning.<br />
Sincerely yours<br />
Sarah E. Thomas<br />

How to use this Guide<br />
Oxford University has one of the world’s leading university library systems including over<br />
100 libraries, a rich collection of printed and online materials, a wide range of services and<br />
knowledgeable staff to assist you.<br />
This guide provides you with an overview of many of the libraries within the Oxford system and<br />
includes details of each library’s subject coverage, access and borrowing arrangements, contact<br />
details and core opening hours. (You are advised to check opening hours with individual libraries<br />
before visiting as there may be some variation during the academic year).<br />
This guide does not cover individual college libraries, as these are normally only open to college<br />
members.<br />
<strong>Libraries</strong> are listed alphabetically with subject and course indexes (for undergraduate subjects) at<br />
the back.<br />
Further information about Oxford libraries is available at www.ouls.ox.ac.uk<br />
The <strong>Libraries</strong><br />
Oxford University Library Services<br />
Oxford University Library Service (OULS) encompasses the majority of University libraries<br />
including the major research and faculty libraries and a growing number of departmental libraries.<br />
It does not include college libraries.<br />
Faculty and Departmental <strong>Libraries</strong><br />
These libraries provide subject specific collections and dedicated library support for each subject. In<br />
most cases they are lending libraries and will stock many of the key texts for taught courses.<br />
The <strong>Bodleian</strong> and Research <strong>Libraries</strong><br />
I N T R O D U C T I O N / 3<br />
The <strong>Bodleian</strong> Library is one of the world’s great research libraries and is a legal deposit library, entitled<br />
to receive a copy of every book published in the UK and the Irish Republic. The legal deposit material<br />
is reference only and may not be borrowed. It is housed in the following libraries:
4 / A G U I D E T O L I B R A R I E S I N O X F O R D<br />
<strong>Bodleian</strong> Japanese Library<br />
<strong>Bodleian</strong> Law Library<br />
<strong>Bodleian</strong> Library—New Library<br />
<strong>Bodleian</strong> Library—Old Library<br />
<strong>Bodleian</strong> Library—Radcliffe Camera<br />
<strong>Bodleian</strong> Library of Commonwealth and African Studies at Rhodes House<br />
Education Library<br />
Institute for Chinese Studies Library<br />
Oriental Institute Library<br />
Radcliffe Science Library<br />
Sackler Library<br />
Social Science Library<br />
Taylor <strong>Bodleian</strong> Slavonic and Modern Greek Library<br />
Taylor Institution Library<br />
Vere Harmsworth Library<br />
The research libraries also purchase material. Purchased items may be borrowed from most of the<br />
research libraries, although not from the central <strong>Bodleian</strong> Library or the <strong>Bodleian</strong> Law Library.<br />
The majority of <strong>Bodleian</strong> collections are held in closed book stacks. To read these materials you will<br />
need to order them from the stacks to a reading room using the Automated Stack Request (ASR)<br />
system which is part of OLIS. You will find more information about OLIS below.<br />
College libraries<br />
College libraries offer collections and services tailored to the needs of their college members and<br />
typically offer long opening hours and generous lending arrangements.<br />
The holdings of most college libraries are included in the OLIS catalogue. However, items in college<br />
libraries are normally only available to members of the college. Exceptions may be made in the case<br />
of unique research materials including special collections and manuscript materials as well as books<br />
and journals that are not available elsewhere. Requests for access to such material should be directed<br />
to the college librarian. For contact details please see www.ox.ac.uk/colleges<br />
Admission to libraries<br />
Members of Oxford University are entitled to use all OULS libraries although some local<br />
registration may be necessary. Your University card is also your library card and should be presented<br />
at each library. If you do not already have a card, your college or departmental administrator will<br />
be able to advise you on how to apply for one. If you are not a member of Oxford University you
should consult the Admissions Guide at www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/services/admissions or contact the<br />
Admissions Office (tel. 01865 277180, email:<br />
admissions@bodley.ox.ac.uk) for information about admission to OULS libraries.<br />
Non OULS libraries have individual admissions policies. For more information please refer to the<br />
appropriate entry in this guide or check the library website.<br />
Finding resources<br />
SOLO: Search Oxford <strong>Libraries</strong> Online<br />
http://solo.ouls.ox.ac.uk<br />
SOLO offers easy access to Oxford’s extensive printed and online collections. The SOLO homepage<br />
searches the OLIS library catalogue, Oxford’s large collection of e-resources and<br />
e-journals and other collections such as the Oxford Research Archive (ORA).<br />
SOLO also offers ‘Articles and databases’ searching. This allows you to search for keywords within<br />
pre-selected sets of online resources and is a useful way of finding a sample of articles for your<br />
subject. However, for more in depth research we recommend that you search each online resource<br />
independently using its own search interface. This generally gives you more control over your search.<br />
OLIS: Oxford <strong>Libraries</strong> Information System<br />
www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/olis<br />
OLIS is the main library catalogue covering the collections of nearly all of the libraries within the<br />
University including the research libraries and most faculty, departmental and college libraries. It<br />
includes e-journals as well as Oxford’s extensive printed collections.<br />
OLIS covers over 11.5 million items. However, it is not comprehensive and so you may need to use<br />
other finding tools as well. This is particularly true if you are consulting manuscripts, maps, music<br />
scores or government publications. If you can not find an item please ask library staff who will be<br />
happy to help you.<br />
You can search OLIS from SOLO or independently at www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/olis.<br />
I N T R O D U C T I O N / 5<br />
If you wish to consult items from the closed book stacks you should use OLIS to order them to a<br />
reading room of your choice using the ‘stack request’ system.<br />
You can also use OLIS to check your borrowing record, to renew your books and to reserve books<br />
which are out to other readers.

For more information about OLIS please see www.lib.ox.ac.uk/olis/documentation/all.htm<br />
or pick up a guide in your local library.<br />
You will find information about your personal details on OLIS at www.lib.ox.ac.uk/olis/<br />
documentation/yourrecord.html.<br />
OxLIP+: Oxford <strong>Libraries</strong> Information Platform<br />
http://oxlip-plus.ouls.ox.ac.uk<br />
OxLIP+ provides access to Oxford’s extensive online collections including databases and<br />
e-journals. Although these collections are also available via SOLO, OxLIP+ includes additional<br />
functionality including the ability to browse online resources by subject and title. It also includes<br />
an A-Z of e-journals.<br />
In addition, the OxLIP+ cross-search facility allows you to search up to 5 online resources<br />
simultaneously. You may find this useful for finding a sample of articles, but it is generally not as<br />
effective as searching each resource independently.<br />
You can find guides to OxLIP+ at www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/guides or in print in your library.<br />
Oxford University e-Journals<br />
http://ejournals.ouls.ox.ac.uk<br />
Oxford University e-Journals is an A-Z of more than 28,000 e-journals. It can be searched from<br />
within SOLO and OxLIP+ as well as independently.<br />
Remote access to e-resources<br />
If you are a current member of Oxford University you will be able to access nearly all online<br />
resources when you are away from Oxford by logging in to SOLO or OxLIP+ using your Oxford<br />
Single Sign On (SSO) username and password.<br />
For more information about Oxford Single Sign On including details of how to apply for a<br />
username or reset a forgotten password please see www.ict.ox.ac.uk/oxford/username.

monograph, or one article from a periodical issue. More information about copyright limits is<br />
available on the <strong>Bodleian</strong> ‘Making a copy’ web page at www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/bodley/services/<br />

Fragile and manuscript material, and material printed before 1800 may not be photocopied using<br />
self service photocopiers. For details of how to obtain copies of these materials in the <strong>Bodleian</strong><br />
please see www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/services/copy/imaging_services. In other libraries please<br />

you using our Inter-library Loan service. Please see www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/services/ill for more<br />
information.<br />
Computing facilities and connecting your laptop<br />

resources. Classes are advertised at www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/training and on the websites of individual<br />
libraries. If you cannot find a class that suits you please contact usered@ouls.ox.ac.uk<br />

your studies and research. Please contact your library for details.<br />
Information for disabled students and staff<br />
Library staff have been trained to be aware of the needs of disabled customers. The Access<br />
Directory on the Web lists the facilities and special equipment at each library and includes<br />
important information such as whether there are any steps or assistive equipment in each library.<br />
Where there are potential barriers to using a library, staff have provided ways of ensuring access<br />
to the library’s stock and services; these policies and procedures are listed in the Directory. Some<br />
equipment, such as adaptive keyboards, is available centrally and can be requested in order to<br />
equip a workstation at a specific library. The Access Directory can be found at www.ouls.ox.ac.<br />
uk/services/disability/access/<br />
ARACU - Accessible Resources Acquisition and Creation Unit - is part of OULS. It creates<br />
alternative formats (electronic text, audio DAISY CD, Braille and also tactile diagrams) for<br />
disabled readers who cannot access printed materials. Please contact aracu@ouls.ox.ac.uk or 01865<br />
283862 if you would like more information.<br />
Other useful services include the University Disability Advisory Team. Please visit<br />

The <strong>Bodleian</strong> Library: Special Collections Move<br />
In preparation for the refurbishment of the New <strong>Bodleian</strong> Library expected to begin next year,<br />
a large proportion of Special Collections material currently stored there must be relocated<br />
temporarily. The relocation is being carried out for conservation reasons, in order to protect the<br />
<strong>Bodleian</strong>’s important collections during the refurbishment of the library.<br />
During this period the Special Collections that are affected will be available for consultation at<br />
the Radcliffe Science Library (RSL). A dedicated Special Collections team and relevant resources<br />
will relocate to the RSL to administer this material for readers. The Special Collections Reading<br />
Room in the New <strong>Bodleian</strong> Library will close at some stage during the academic year 2009-10. A<br />
new Special Collections Reading Room will be opened at the RSL.<br />
Duke Humfrey’s Library will continue to provide access to manuscripts and rare books not<br />
transferred to the Radcliffe Science Library.<br />
A list of the transferred collections and fuller information is available on the website www.ouls.<br />
ox.ac.uk/scmoves.<br />
Note:<br />
I N T R O D U C T I O N / 9<br />
Until the relocation of Special Collections material to the RSL, Duke Humfrey’s Library will<br />
house reference material supporting the study of pre-1800 manuscripts and pre-1641 printed<br />
books; the Special Collections Reading Room will house material supporting the study of<br />
post-1800 manuscript material, ephemera, Oriental manuscripts and special collections. A<br />
large proportion of the reference material, complementing the temporarily transferred Special<br />
Collections, will be relocated to the RSL Special Collections Reading Room when this is created.<br />
Please contact Special Collections staff with any queries, either in person in the Special<br />
Collections Reading Room, by e-mail: enquiries.sc@bodley.ox.ac.uk or by telephone: 01865<br />
277046 – please note that the number might change after the relocation.

These regulations embody the <strong>Bodleian</strong> Library declaration, to which all readers admitted to<br />
Oxford University Library Services’ libraries and facilities are deemed to have subscribed, and to<br />
which they must adhere. The declaration reads:<br />
“I hereby undertake not to remove from the Library, or to mark, deface, or injure in any way, any<br />
volume, document, or other object belonging to it or in its custody; not to bring into the Library or kindle<br />
therein any fire or flame, and not to smoke in the Library; and I promise to obey all rules of the Library.”<br />

information must not be copied, modified, disseminated, or used either in whole or<br />
in part without the permission<br />
of the library or other person or body entitled to give it.<br />
22. Readers may make copies from library material only as allowed by the Copyright,<br />
Designs and Patents Act 1988 as amended by subsequent legislation.<br />

33. Where breach or attempted breach of Regulations 7-12 above results in damage to or<br />
