  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Francis Douce and His Collection: an Antiquarian in Great Britain, 1757- 1834
    Joby Topper. Francis Douce and His Collection: An Antiquarian in Great Britain, 1757- 1834. A Master’s paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. April, 2002. 76 pages. Advisor: David W. Carr. This paper is a study of the English antiquarian Francis Douce and his collection of books, prints, drawings, coins, and artifacts. The major theme of the collection—the manners, beliefs, and customs of the world—is connected to three of Douce’s most remarkable collecting interests: children’s books and games; fools and jesters; and the sublime, including his collections of death, demonology, and witchcraft. The collection, divided between the Bodleian Library and the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford, remains an invaluable resource for scholars in a wide variety of fields. It is hoped that this paper will emphasize the vision according to which Douce developed a distinctive collection; that it will shed additional light on British collecting and collectors of Douce’s lifetime, 1757- 1834; and that it will serve as a lesson in collecting that might be used by librarians and non-librarians alike.

  • LIBRARY Research Guide 11
    LIBRARY Research Guide 11 Applying for admission to the Bodleian Libraries: information for students We are fortunate, with our location in Oxford, that access to the Bodleian Libraries is possible during Oxford University term time for certain types of Brookes taught student. It is important to realise, however, that this access is a privilege and not a right that automatically comes with admission to programmes of study at Brookes. It is possible that your application may be turned down by the Academic Liaison Librarian where such access is not appropriate or falls outside the terms of the scheme. The Bodleian Library is the main research library of the University of Oxford. It is also a copyright deposit library, which means that a copy of all British books, papers and journals should be deposited in its collections by the publisher under copyright law. As a source of British publications, therefore, it is an immensely valuable resource. Who can apply to join? Students on degree courses in semester 2 of year 2, and in years 3 and/or 4, engaged on dissertation work Post-graduate students ERASMUS students Research students Staff Membership is not available to students to help with mainstream coursework nor for those looking for study space only. How to apply for membership Research students and staff should follow the admissions procedure outlined at http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/using/getting-a-readers-card and apply directly to the Bodleian Libraries’ Admissions Office in the Weston Library, on the corner of Broad Street and Parks Road.
