With weather like this, it's a good time to stay inside and treat yourself - Friday biscuits are now out in the library. Enjoy!
Notice for anyone using the Stallybrass Library: The self-checkout is out of order. IT are working to solve the issue but don't yet know when it will be fixed. Meanwhile, please bring books to the Greenland Library to check out or contact library staff to add to your account.
UPDATE TO SOLO Q&A SESSION TIME: Thursday afternoon's session has been moved to 09:45-11:45. Wednesday's session is still 13:00-15:00. If you have any questions about SOLO at all, we hope to see you there.
New to SOLO? Need help with online resources? Or would you like tips on how to narrow down a search? This Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, Ashley will be in the Collab Study Space in Old Cloisters to answer your queries about the library catalogue. There are no silly questions.
Happy Friday everyone! Biscuits are out in the History & Politics Library and Cloisters. We hope you enjoy and have a lovely weekend!

There was lots of lost property left in Brasenose libraries (including Stally) at the end of last term. I'm afraid we can't keep it forever. If anything may be yours, please check on the stairs near the big printer. Anything left, will be disposed of at the end of the week.
It's the first biscuit day of the new academic year! 🍪🎉
Hopefully you've all had a good 0th week - whether preparing for exams or getting settled in.
Ever wondered how to judge a (rare) book by its cover? Well the newest Brasenose Library blog post explores just that through looking at the bindings of the college special collections and what we can learn from them: brasenosecollegelibrary.word…
Showtime for the Founder's Bible! Here are some behind-the-scenes photos from shooting a short film highlighting some of the history and features of this wonderful manuscript.
Please check out my first ever blog post for Brasenose, in which I write about the college's first ever library and highlight some interesting things I learned about college history in my first month here: brasenosecollegelibrary.word…
After David Pearson's wonderful talk on the history of English bookbinding at @ChChLibrary yesterday, I was inspired to look at Brasenose's rare books with fresh eyes. Among the finds was this centrepiece common in mid-to-late 16th c. Oxford.
Don't miss our most recent blog post with details of an interesting discovery in the archives made by rare books cataloguer, Sophie Floate 🌍: brasenosecollegelibrary.word…

A reminder that the Stocker Room can be used as additional study space this term!
