A new guide to library resources for Creative Writing is now available.

The Rewley House Continuing Education Library has produced various other resource guides, more to follow.

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
