Collections

Law Reserve Collection

The Library keeps a collection of the most heavily used text books in the Reserve Collection, near to the Enquiry Desk. These books are for use within the Library only (as is the rest of the collection), but are "wanded" in and out to readers, so that staff always know where they are in the Library, to prevent them being mislaid. This means that material on reading lists should always be readily available in the Library.

Legal research classes

We advertise classes and courses in our weekly newsletter which is sent to the undergraduate, postgraduate and Faculty mailing lists, and on our web site (classes).

Please contact the Library staff as early as possible if you would like us to develop a new course on any aspect of the collections.

The Library has an online guide designed to help students new to reading law at Oxford. A project to convert more guides (on jurisdictions and legal topics) to this new format started in September 2010: over the next few months the numbers available should increase. See what is available now via this link. 

Law Bod 4 students

Law Bod 4 students provides scanned copies of articles that are not available online through the legal databases. For example, articles from LQR, PL and Crim LR.   

IT facilities

The Library has 40 public access computers. Please see the computing section for more information

You are very welcome to use your Laptop in the library. Please see the laptops section for information about connecting your laptop to the library network.

Baker & McKenzie Seminar and Discussion room

The Library's Seminar Room may be used for academic meetings and seminars on weekdays when the Library is open. It is suitable for groups of 15-18 seated around a large circular table. During the term, reservations are through the Faculty Office. During the Vacation, please contact the Library staff.

At other times, the room is available for readers to use for group working and discussion on a first come first served basis until 30 minutes before closing time.
