The Bodleian Libraries Click & Collect service allows staff and students from Oxford University to place a request for a book via SOLO (which would usually be available to borrow) and then collect it from the relevant Library at a booked time slot.
A step by step guide to using Click & Collect
- Log in to SOLO using your Single-Sign On
- Search SOLO for your chosen item
- Select an available copy at the Social Science Library (or other Library)
- If the item is eligible for Click and Collect, you will see a “Request” button
A Click & Collect Training Video is also available to guide you through the process.
Note that items accessible via the HathiTrust Emergency Temporary Access Service are not eligible for request via Click and Collect. Please use the electronic versions of these items instead.
