  • Strategy 2018-2022
    BODLEIAN LIBRARIES STRATEGY 2018–2022 Sharing knowledge, inspiring scholarship Advancing learning, research and innovation from the heart of the University of Oxford through curating, collecting and unlocking the world’s information. MESSAGE FROM BODLEY’S LIBRARIAN The Bodleian is currently in its fifth century of serving the University of Oxford and the wider world of scholarship. In 2017 we launched a new strategy; this has been revised in 2018 to be in line with the University’s new strategic plan (www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation/strategic-plan). This new strategy has been formulated to enable the Bodleian Libraries to achieve three key aims for its work during the period 2018-2022, to: 1. help ensure that the University of Oxford remains at the forefront of academic teaching and research worldwide; 2. contribute leadership to the broader development of the world of information and libraries for society; and 3. provide a sustainable operation of the Libraries. The Bodleian exists to serve the academic community in Oxford and beyond, and it strives to ensure that its collections and services remain of central importance to the current state of scholarship across all of the academic disciplines pursued in the University. It works increasingly collaboratively with other parts of the University: with college libraries and archives, and with our colleagues in GLAM, the University’s Gardens, Libraries and Museums. A key element of the Bodleian’s contribution to Oxford, furthermore, is its broader role as one of the world’s leading libraries. This status rests on the depth and breadth of its collections to enable scholarship across the globe, on the deep connections between the Bodleian and the scholarly community in Oxford, and also on the research prowess of the libraries’ own staff, and the many contributions to scholarship in all disciplines, that the library has made throughout its history, and continues to make.

Published by British and Irish Association of Law Librarians doi: I 0. 10 17/S 1472669612000643 From Oxford to Williamsburg: Part I - The University of Oxford, Faculty of Law and Bodleian Law Library Abstract: The Bodleian Law Library has only existed as an entity in its own right for less than 50 years. Yet part of the collection dates back to the days before the founding of the Bodleian Library in 1602. The rise and fall in fortunes of the teaching of law at Oxford is closely tied to the establishment of the law library. A lesser known aspect of the history includes the ties between Oxford and the United States, especially its oldest law school, William and Mary Law School. In this paper, Ruth Bird offers a brief history of the University of Oxford and then looks at the history of law teaching, before moving on to the evolution of the Law Library itself, and some links with our cousins across the pond.

  • Michaelmas Term 2013 Update from the Bodleian Libraries
    Trinity Term 2014 Update from the Bodleian Libraries Richard Ovenden Bodley’s Librarian Dear Colleagues, This newsletter is an informal bulletin sent out at the end of every term to keep you up to date on news and developments at the Bodleian Libraries. It aims to provide information on topics that I hope will be of interest to you. I welcome feedback and ideas for future issues. If you would like to contact me with suggestions, please email [email protected]. 1. Library spaces, capital projects and news Progress on the New Bodleian (Weston) Library The Weston Library project continues to make good progress. The building is now taking shape in its final form, with many spaces finished and waiting for books and people to move in! The building’s power and heating systems are working well, and commissioning is underway. The refurbishment of many of the offices and workrooms has been completed, while shelves and reader tables in the reading rooms continue to be installed. The building’s signage scheme is under development and final decisions on both layout and specification of furniture, fixtures and equipment are now being taken. The new archival-standard shelving installation is almost complete and staff are working closely with IT Services to finalise the installation of high quality IT systems to support digital scholarship. Some works will continue in Michaelmas Term, such as the installation of high-quality exhibition cases and the benching systems for the Conservation Centre. An Executive Committee now meets fortnightly to oversee the work of the many internal planning sub-teams.

Introduction Achieving an anniversary of 50 years is a mere blip in the history of the 800 year old University of Oxford, but it is none the less an important milestone. It comes as the requirements of scholars and researchers are undergoing a fundamental change in approach, and the role of libraries themselves are changing dramatically. No longer the repositories of the world’s knowledge, libraries are now powerful partners in the research process, facilitating the access to commercial resources, maintaining the balance with paper resources for those who still value this proven technology, and providing teaching and guidance through the labyrinth of organised and disorganised information in its physical and virtual form.

  • Library Accessibility Guide 2018
    Library Accessibility Guide 2018 Project and report conducted by Ebie Edwards Cole and Kathryn Reece On behalf of OSDC’s Committee (Oxford Students’ Disabilities Community) Page 1 of 108 Contents Introduction Purpose, objectives. Specific Library Information Links Use the links to access information regarding a specific library. Key Findings Statistics, facts of particular note. Individual Library Information Information gathered regarding each library. Page 2 of 108 Introduction The Library Accessibility Project (LAP) was completed over the summer of 2018 by two of OSDC’s Executive Committee Members, Ebie Edwards Cole and Kathryn Reece. OSDC is Oxford SU’s Campaign for inclusion and accessibility for students with disabilities. The reason for undertaking the LAP was due to concerns with regards to lack of accessibility of Oxford University Libraries, raised by several members of the OSDC community and recognised by the OSDC committee. The initial purpose of the LAP was to gather accurate information about all current libraries affiliated with the University of Oxford, as current information sources are in need of updating, enabling students to understand the current accessibility of all libraries, and the facilities available to them at each library. However, when gathering information and student opinion, it became evident that there are inconsistencies with the accessibility standards across the university libraries. Using the JISC library accessibility framework (https://www.jisc.ac.uk/guides/enhancing-staff-support-for-learners-with- disabilities/the-accessible-library) and self assessments provided, plus findings from our data, we have collated a set of recommendations for libraries affiliated with the University of Oxford. Based on this analysis, a report was created to discuss the practical implications of the findings.
