Welcome to our induction page. We'd like to introduce you to all the library has to offer so you can maximize your time at Nuffield.

First off, attend Induction Day on Friday, September 30, where you'll learn all about our services and facilities. You'll be given a comprehensive tour, including the top of the tower! If you need to miss this day, let us know; we'd be happy to show you around and teach you how to use the library effectively another time.

Then, explore this website! The menu on the left will show you all the different areas covered. There is huge amount of information available and we hope you'll take advantage. You'll find everything from our current subscriptions to the pantomime page. The "quick links" on our homepage list some of our most popular services. See also the FAQ below, which will direct you to the part of the website that answers your question(s).

We'd also recommend you familiarise yourself with the Oxford library catalogue (SOLO) and Nuffield College's homepage.

Remember to ask if you have any queries. You might also want to watch this video in which a former student gives advice on how to best use the library:

When is the library open?
How can I request a book for purchase?
How do I reserve a book?
How do I request an inter-library loan?
Where should I direct a research question?
Who should I contact to renew my books?
