There will be some noise disruption in the East and North section of the Library on Thursday 13 April, when work is taking place to vacuum the trench heating by the windows. The work will start before the Library opens, and will finish at 12 noon. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
UPDATE: Work on the trench heating will now continue all week, 09:00 – 12:00, until Friday 7 April. This may result in some additional noise disturbance. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
The University is currently in the process of upgrading its network infrastructure as part of the Oxford Network Evolution (TONE) project (https://projects.it.ox.ac.uk/tone/).
On Monday 8 August, the Manor Road Building, including the Bodleian Social Science Library and all Departments in the building, will be migrated to the new service, resulting in a short period of network downtime.
There will be no network connection in the whole of the Manor Road Building between 10.30am and 11.45am on Monday 8 August 2016. This includes both Reader PC workstations and wireless (Eduroam/Bodleian-Libraries) internet connections.
Please ensure you save any work prior to this time and avoid planning critical work during this period. Although some local network services may be available during this period, it is best to assume this will not be the case.
Speak to a member of the Social Science Library or Manor Road Building IT Staff for further information or if you have any other questions.
On the morning of Wednesday 5th August there will be no access to the Library Graduate Study Rooms and Q-Step Lab.
This is due to maintenance work being carried out on the doors of these rooms.
It is expected that the rooms will be back in use by 1pm.
The IT Training Room is available as an alternative quiet study area.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

This Saturday (18th April) we are undertaking some work to tidy the cabling underneath the desks in the library computer area and the seating area on the Manor Road side of the Library. Most of the work will be undertaken while the library is closed, though some will take place during working hours.
Only one desk at a time in each area will be affected, these will be clearly marked.
We are grateful for your patience while this work takes place.
