The Social Science Library is taking part in a Navigation & Wayfinding project along with other sites in the Bodleian Libraries.

In response to feedback from readers, we are experimenting with new ways to make it easier to find things in and near the Library. Over a period of two weeks we will be trialling four more prototype improvements.

Did you see the prototypes while using the library today?

1) A projecting sign above the New Journals Display pointing towards the Print & Copy Room

2) Signs in the aisles and at the end of shelves reminding readers that they can ask staff for help if needed

Let us know what you think!
