Introduction

At the end of 0th Week we want to wish our readers the best for the term ahead and let you know of recent and upcoming changes to services and opening times.

Covid Measures

The University has moved to Business Continuity Planning Level 0. For the library, this means that some safety measures have been relaxed or removed.

The wearing of face coverings is now a personal choice, though readers are encouraged to respect those who continue to wear them.

The requirement for social distancing has been removed, with readers encouraged to respect one another’s personal space. Some socially-distanced seating remains available.

Service Updates

WiFi

University IT Services have upgraded the sign-in portal for Bodleian Libraries WiFi and local WiFi infrastructure in the St Cross Building. Readers are encouraged to report any issues to library staff.

Return of loans

The Bodleian Libraries free postal returns services will end on 6th May. Readers can continue to submit requests for returns via Royal Mail or courier up to the deadline, but are asked to do so earlier where possible.

Proxy borrowing

The library will continue to offer proxy borrowing for students unable to visit the library in person. Requests should be made in advance by emailing efl-enquiries@bodleian.ox.ac.uk.

Opening Hours

From Saturday 23rd April, the library will move to term time opening hours. These are:

Monday to Friday: 9:00-19:00

Saturday: 10:00-13:00

Sunday: Closed
