Trinity Term is a particularly stressful time of year for our students but support is available. The University Health and Welfare team are on hand to provide a variety of resources and assistance. In addition to University services, Nightline provides a completely independent listening, support, and information service run for and by students.

From a library perspective, we feel we have a pastoral duty of care to our readers. We seek to provide a safe, welcoming space where students can achieve what they set out to achieve. The Bodleian as a whole has been carefully collecting and curating a selection of self-help books for students, staff, and any other interested users. The majority of these books are e-books, which we feel adds an element of discretion for those who wish for it. These e-books are available to view at any time of day, from any location; all you need is an internet connection and your Single Sign-On.

The full list of titles can be found here. If you feel there are any titles or topics we may have missed, please do get in touch with our disability librarian.

The Sainsbury Library will be offering a reduced library service on the 29^th May. The Library will be open to non-Oxford Saïd visitors between 9am and 5pm, with all non-SBS visitors required to vacate by no later than 4.45pm.

For Oxford Saïd students, the library will be open as normal with normal opening hours.

Non-SBS readers are asked to note however that the Saïd Business School building will be operating on a reduced Sunday service, when the building is generally closed to everyone other than students and staff who hold individual SBS building access cards.  As a result, the Sainsbury Library is unable to guarantee access to readers other than SBS students and that readers who elect to come to the Sainsbury may experience difficulties or extensive delays in gaining entry to the building.

Non-SBS readers are therefore strongly encouraged to make use of the various other Bodleian Libraries that are open, details of which can be found here.
