Collection overview
There are two collection policies for this subject area: Language and literature and History and social sciences.
Libraries and reading rooms
Principal collections
The collections for this subject area are for the most part located in closed access in the Bodleian (closed access) but may be ordered to the Taylorian Slavonic Library or any of the Bodleian reading-rooms.
All readers have access to the Reference
Collections and Periodicals on the First Floor of the Library at TABS. Since
2006, the Taylor Reference collection has been combined with the
Bodleian Reference Collection and offers a wide variety of
encyclopaedias, dictionaries and bibliographies covering language,
literature and history among other subjects. The Library has an
unrivalled range of current Slavonic and East European journals.
Associated collections
There is a rapidly growing collection of Hungarian and other East European films in the Film Studies collection of the Modern Languages Faculty Library in the Main Taylor. Although TABS has some limited holdings of borrowable language-learning materials (including Hungarian), a fuller range will be found at the Language Centre.

Access to electronic library resources is through OxLIP+. To access many of these resources when you are not logged on to the university network you will need to register for the Oxford Single Sign-On.
