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.

Books of interest to students of this subject are shelved in the Lower Library under the following classification numbers (Dewey Decimal Classification):

The philosophy of a specific subject will be shelved with that subject. For example, Science is shelved at 500-599 and Philosophy of Science at 501.

If you can't get to Oxford to borrow the book, you can request a scan of one chapter to be sent to you.  Sign in to SOLO and choose 'Offsite scan' (for items in the closed stack) or LibraryScan (for items in libraries)
