Notes
Only current members of the University are eligible for subsidised rates. If a University member wants the item for commercial purposes, that will incur the commercial rate cost.
Theses from the British Library cannot be copied.
Items lost or damaged whilst being consulted by reader may be charged for by the lending institution at a cost of £152.70, more if the item is particularly expensive to replace.
Information for other libraries
The Bodleian K. B. Chen China Centre Library also supplies its own material to other libraries and institutions. For external requests please contact us per email ccl@bodleian.ox.ac.uk.
