Hello from #OrielLibrary to everyone visiting #OrielCollege today during #OxOpenDays!🌞📚👋

Two old buildings at a right angle in front of a lawn with two long blue flags inserted into the lawn. A raised bed with large green foliage and white flowers to the right, and behind that a line of bicycles sits in front of one of the buildings. A blue sky with fine clouds above.

The Library Team is here today for any library-related queries you may have.
We'll be looking out the window at the rain... well, it is a bank holiday Monday in May.
Two ornate windows look out onto a lawn surrounded by medium sized trees, with a large light stone coloured building behind. In front of the window is a small line of books in different colours.

Monday we can't guarantee such a sunny view.

A large glass door looks onto a line of bicycles in front of a grassed area with buildings surrounding both sides of the grassed area. The day is sunny with shadows being cast onto the grass from the buildings.

A circle contains a photograph of a room with tables and chairs set out. The room has a fireplace with two colourful coats of arms amongst decorative plaster work in white. A decorative plasterwork ceiling is to the top of the circle, and an ornate wooden window is to the back with green curtains.

A small yellow toy chick stands on a window ledge in front of an out of focus view of two buildings set against a blue sky with a lawn and a small tree. One building is made of a light stone with many ornate windows the other, which is attached to the light coloured building, is white and dark brown with larger windows.

After years of hard work from colleagues at the Bodleian and across the #LegalDepositLibraries, Electronic Legal Deposit resources are now available in the reading rooms again! Hurrah!
Poster advertising that the Electronic Legal Deposit has been restored at the Bodleian Libraries. Text on a white background 'Electronic Legal Deposit resources are now available in the reading rooms again. After much work and collaboration with peers across UK Legal Deposit Libraries, we have restored access to the majority of existing legal deposit materials (published pre Oct 2023), UK non-print legal deposit books, scores, and some journal articles are now accessible from reading room PCs. The interim system works slightly differently from the previous method of accessing eLD on Reader PCs'. Then a Bodleian blue block with the Bodleian logo and a QR code.

A large open ornate window opens onto a small garden. Behind a tree is a large old building made of light coloured stone. The sky is blue. A bench is just outside the window with a raised bed, where there is a bike lent up against it. The paving stones are wet, indicating that there has just been rain.
