The Greenland Library and the Stallybrass Law Library, plus several stack areas around College, make up the Brasenose Library.
The majority of holdings are on the open shelves; students have 24-hour access to these and there is currently no restriction on the number of loans. There is an interesting collection of antiquarian books, some dating from the foundation of the College over five centuries ago, in the more restricted access section.
Full access to all electronic library resources is available throughout College including student bedrooms.
Desks in each of the discrete areas of the library have lights, power and USB sockets, and there are two large height adjustable desks on the ground floor. Printers, photocopiers and scanners are available and there are book rests, footrests, kneeling chairs and blankets for additional comfort. Guarding the upper part of the library is a full size, and much–loved skeleton called George.
The College funds the purchase of new books suggested by students for the libraries, and these are normally ordered and delivered within a couple of days. Facebook and Twitter are used to communicate both important and fun library information, and there is a Library and Archives Blog. Students are always welcome to discuss any particular needs with library staff.
