About Us


The Bodleian Law Library is housed in the St Cross Building on Manor Road, a ten minute walk from the Bodleian Library in Broad Street.

The Law Library occupies over half of the St Cross Building, and three of its four floors (floorplans in pdf) are open to readers, with most of the collection on open access shelves.

Admission to the Law Library is generally restricted to members of the University and its affiliates, unless prior arrangements are made.

Opening hours are longer in term time than in the vacation periods.

Staff in the Law Library look forward to assisting you with your research and reference queries.

Please Note The Law Library does not provide legal advice. Such advice may be had from a qualified solicitor (Law Society's find a solicitor) or the Citizens Advice Bureau service.
The government website Directgov may also provide some answers.
