PCAS accounts are changing
From 6 September, PCAS accounts are changing. The way in which readers sign in to their accounts will switch; the new log in will use the Bodleian Libraries username and password (which is also used to login to reading room PCs and Bodleian Libraries WiFi: http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/using/passwords). Existing PCAS accounts will need to be updated and an online portal and library staff will be available to facilitate this.
The Libraries are also replacing existing copiers with machines that offer a greener and more reliable service. For full information please see our PCAS Development pages.
During the implementation phase there will be no Printing, Copying and Scanning services from Friday 26th August until Monday 5th September inclusive.
We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause. Library staff will be on hand to answer any questions
The Radcliffe Camera and Bodleian library will begin the transition this week, and the Upper Camera Reading Room will close on two mornings to accommodate the work. Key dates for these buildings are as follows:
Thursday 25 August
Printing, copying and scanning will be suspended from 5pm when the devices will be taken out of service.
Friday 26 August
Removal of current PCAS machines:
- The Upper Camera will be closed until 1pm. We will open as soon as the machines have been removed, by 1pm latest. If you require a book during this time please speak to library staff.
- Some general disruption across the site.
Wednesday 31 August
Installation of new PCAS machines
- The Upper Camera will be closed until 1pm. We will open as soon as the machines have been removed, by 1pm latest. If you require a book during this time please speak to library staff.

Tuesday 6 September
PCAS will be re-launched. Users will access the new system using their Bodleian Libraries account details. Please see our PCAS Development page for information on changes to PCAS accounts and how credit can be transferred from accounts used on the old system.
What do I need to do?
Please ensure you know your PCAS username and password so you can transfer your account from 6th September at our online portal. Details will be advertised from 6th September. New users will automatically have an account set up for them. If you forget your username after Thursday 25th August please email pcas@bodleian.ox.ac.uk. for help.
If you have any questions please come and speak to library staff, visit our PCAS Development pages or contact pcas@bodleian.ox.ac.uk.
