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
