News is just in that the bug stopping online renewals of your loans and stack requests has been squashed.

If you have any stack requests in Old Bodleian reading rooms and you want to keep them beyond the clear-out on Monday 1 August clear-out, then you will need to renew before Monday.

How to renew?

  1. Logon to SOLO with your Single Sign-On username and password
  2. Click on <MyAccount>
  3. Click on <Loans>
  4. Renew item from list of loans and stack requests.

There are further teething problems relating to placing more than one hold for the same journal, the eshelf yet to be migrated, and more. Staff are working hard to fix these. Thank you for your patience and please get in touch with library / reading room staff .

Requesting periodicals from Bodleian Libraries off-site locations: changes

With the move of periodicals to the new Book Storage Facility at Swindon, the way how these are ordered has changed. The catalogue entry on OLIS for periodicals in Swindon will list each individual section available to order. Each part required needs to be ordered separately by selecting the appropriate section from the list – rather than using the Unlisted Part option.

As some periodicals have yet to be moved to Swindon, it is not currently possible for us to remove the Unlisted Part option in OLIS and it may still appear on catalogue entries even where all the individual sections are listed. In those cases, if you use the Unlisted Part option where all sections are listed, your request will be cancelled; that request cannot be recognised by the system.

Please consult staff if you need assistance ordering periodicals.

Do you have an incomplete reference and don’t know which periodical section to order? Use a relevant bibliographical database on OxLIP+ and search for the citation.
