Wolfson College Library is one of the best (non-specialized) graduate college libraries in Oxford. The Library provides a quiet and comfortable working environment over three floors, and is open twenty-four hours a day throughout the year. The Library aims to facilitate access to and serve the needs of the new and experienced researcher alike through all of its services.
The Library holds several named research collections, the Jeremy Black Collection in Near Eastern Studies, the Gillian R Hart Collection in Classical Philology, and the Michael Aris Collection in Tibetan and Himalayan Studies. Generous bequests give the Library strengths in Ancient History and Classics, Philosophy and Indology. The collections are kept up to date by suggestions from fellows and students. It also aims to hold the core texts for taught courses.
A number of individual and casual study carrels are available within the Library. There is provision for the use of personal laptops and access to the Internet and electronic resources throughout the Library. There is a self-issue system and loan periods are generous. The Library welcomes suggestions for purchase for its collections. An inter-library loan service provides for resources not found in other Oxford Libraries.
A professional librarian is on hand to assist readers with their information needs throughout their research, whether it's familiarizing them with the libraries in Oxford, consulting the catalogue, or showing them how to exploit effectively the extensive range of electronic resources.
