Library access for disabled readers

The Rewley House lift is being refurbished starting at the end of January. The work is expected to last approximately 3 months. During this period it will not be possible to provide access to the lower floor of the Library for readers unable to use the stairs. Library staff will of course be pleased to fetch books for borrowing, or study in the reading room, but browsing the shelves will not be possible.

The Library apologises for any inconvenience caused by this work

Inter-Library loan price rise

The January 2012 ILL price increase has now been implemented.
This represents an annual increase since the charges were last revised in January 2012, and are in line with a recommendation that was passed by the Curators to apply a 25p annual increase to our charges for Inter-library loans and document supply.

The ILL charge increases are as follows:


  • Loan, photocopy, or delivery of an item by secure electronic delivery for University members from £4.50 to £4.75

  • Urgent requests for University members from £10.50 to £10.75

  • Worldwide searches for University members from £12.50 to £12.75.

The full revised price list can be found on the Bodleian website at: http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/services/ill/prices


After this price rise, the annual price increase will take place in line with the beginning of the budget year so there will be a further rise of 25p from August 2012.
