Libraries will play a big part during your time in Oxford, whether providing access to eBooks, eJournals and databases, helping you find books on your reading list or providing you with a place to study.
Getting to grips with the services we provide and finding your way around buildings and collections, can seem dauting at first. We run Library Welcome Sessions and Tours, to provide you with all the key information you need to know, so you can confidently get down to your studies.
You may also find it useful to watch a short introductory video to the Bodleian Libraries.
