History Graduate Information Fair: 27th October

The History Information Fair for graduates will be held next Wednesday afternoon (27th October, 2-4pm) in the North Writing School at Exam Schools.

This fair is conceived as a gateway to the University's information resources. Medieval, modern, British, European, African, Commonwealth and US history will all be addressed. Library and other professionals will have stalls where they will demonstrate and talk to you about what they have to offer. The British Library will also be represented.

There will be associated talks throughout the afternoon and information about further training you can attend.

It's really worth coming along to get advice and pointers on library resources and how to manage your research.

Print, Copy & Scan - now Live!

NOW LIVE!





From 9 August 2010, Bodleian Libraries are introducing a new system for photocopying, printing and scanning. Readers will have access to a range of new services across all libraries:

Scanning

• Colour copies


• A3 printing


• Self-service online accounts


• Discounted double-sided


• Printing from laptops

To use the new system, you will need to set up an online account at https://bodleian.pcounterwebpay.com/, to which you can add credit using a credit or debit card. When you first come to use the photocopier, your University/Bodleian Libraries card can be linked to this account. Once linked, you will just need to swipe your card to pick up print jobs and access copying and scanning. If you have a Rewley House Continuing Education Library card without a magnetic strip, please ask Library staff.

For more information on prices, and for guides to the new system, please see http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/services/copy


What will happen to credit on my existing photocopy card?

If you use other libraries, you may have one of the existing copy cards with credit remaining. Once you have set up an account, library staff can transfer credit from the old system to your new account. Simply set up an account and present your old card to library staff in any of the libraries that used the old card system, eg Bodleian, Sackler, History Faculty, English Faculty etc. They will need your PCAS username to complete the transaction. Please note that Rewley House Continuing Education Library staff will be unable to do this.
