Here you will find information about formal representation of students on the library committee, how reps are elected, what they do and how to contact them.

Message from the UG Library representative 2007-8, Jordan Perry (Balliol):

Welcome to the student liaison page on the History Faculty Library website. My name is Jordan, and I am the President of the Undergraduate Historians’ Assembly which meets every term to discuss the issues you have brought up regarding the Modern History course and pass on your thoughts to the Department.

As President, an integral part in my role is representing undergraduates that use the History Faculty Library throughout the academic year and vacations. I liaise with the Library Management, concerning the key issues and questions you have about the Library. That means that’s its really important you get in touch with me with your views and queries so that I can mention them at the various meetings and discussions I have with the Library. This will allow me to give a much richer and accurate representation of what the student body would like to see the Library offer in its collections and many services; in turn, it would enable the Library to act appropriately on your concerns.

Please do not hesitate to contact me via email: jordan.perry@balliol.ox.ac.uk. I am also on Facebook, so please feel free to send me a message that way if it’s more convenient for you.

I hope you enjoy this webpage set up to give a voice to History undergraduates; if there is anything you feel ought to be added to it, please do drop me an email. I hope to hear your thoughts soon.

Best wishes,
Jordan Perry
