Admissions

At the Radcliffe Science Library the card is used to operate the swipecard entry system.  At Plant Sciences, for the Sherardian LIbrary of Plant Taxonomy, and Zoology, for the Alexander Library of Ornithology, it is necessary to show the card at the entrance to the department.

For information on who is eligible for a card, details of how to apply, and illustrations of types of card, please refer to the Bodleian Libraries' Admissions page. [Opens in new window.]
