This guide is intended for students and researchers at Nuffield College, as well as others at the University of Oxford seeking information about Nuffield College Library.
Use this guide to find out about the collections, services and staff support at Nuffield College Library.
This is due to the current extensive building works taking place in College, which will affect the Library entrance and ground floor over the coming months.
We do not yet have an end date for the works, but expect that it will be sometime in the summer. We will write to all registered external readers whose cards remain valid to advise of the reopening date once it is confirmed.
Current members of Nuffield College (including Associate Members) will still be able to use the Library 24 hours a day, 7 days a week but the access route may change.
Christmas 2023: 25 December - 1 January
Easter 2024: 28 March - 2 April
