Top Tips

• Sign in to SOLO with your Oxford Single Sign on (SSO) or Library card details. 
• Use the drop down menu to 'Search everything' or to specify 'online resources' (e.g. e-books) or a specific library
• Click 'View online' to link to an ebook or digital item
• For print book click 'Find and request' to see which libraries have the book, whether its available or out on loan, to place a reservation (for a book that is out on loan) and to order items from the 'closed stacks'   
• Which Libraries can you use?  This depends on which course you are taking.     If you're not sure which Libraries you can use, check the information on the 'Home' tab above.
