New resource: Manuscripts Online: Written Culture 1000 - 1500
Launched 28th February, Manuscripts Online: Written Culture 1000 to 1500, funded by JISC, brings to life early printed primary sources of medieval Britain, giving online access to written materials from 1000 to 1500. Manuscripts Online is also a crowd sourcing tool, encouraging users to attach comments about the manuscripts they view to an online map.
Manuscripts Online will shortly be added to OxLIP+. It is freely available to search; content is a mixture of free and subscription material. fullest access can therefore be gained by using it on the Oxford network or by using Single Sign On for remote access, but some content is available to all
For more information, see JISC News

New laptop and remote printing system
The exisiting PrinterOn system has been replaced with RemotePrint. This is a similar web based system that allows you to send print jobs from your laptop, home PC and mobile phone to PCAS. You can then collect your prints at any of the Bodleian Libraries copiers/printers.
It works very similarly to PrinterOn but user guides are available from library staff and the web pages. You can access the RemotePrint system by going to http://remoteprint.bodleian.ox.ac.uk However, for the time being the old PrinterOn URL and shortcuts will still work and they will take you straight to RemotePrint.
This guide will take you through the process of sending a file to print from your laptop or from a computer not connected to the Bodleian Libraries network. Note that the system is being tweaked in response to feedback, so there may be some slight changes. The guide will be updated accordingly.
