Libraries will play a big part during your time at Oxford, whether providing access to online articles on your reading list or helping you find that elusive book.
Getting to grips with the services we provide and finding your way around buildings and collections, can seem daunting at first. We run Library Welcome Sessions and Tours, to provide you with all the key information you need to know, so you can confidently get down to your studies.
You may also find it useful to watch a short introductory video to the Bodleian Libraries.
Undergraduates
Details of your Library Welcome Webinar, where friendly staff will run through how the Bodleian Libraries can help you, are in your student timetable. Links and times for your session will be listed there or you can ask your college for further details.
The slides and SOLO handout from the webinar are available on the Bodleian Libraries Getting Started webpage.
You can drop in and attend a 20-minute tour at any of these times; no booking is required:
- Wednesday 4 October: 11am, 5pm
- Thursday 5 October: 11am, 5pm
- Friday 6 October: 11am, 5pm
Postgraduates
Your Library Welcome sessions are in person and you will have been given details of them by your Department. In most cases, your Library tours will be just after or just before your Welcome session.
