The Bodleian collections relating to the history and social sciences of the Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe are the third largest in the UK. General reference works and some history sources can be found on the open shelves of the Taylorian Slavonic reading room, while books, journals and reading list materials relating to Russian and East European politics, economics and statistics are housed in the SSL (Social Sciences Library). There is also a growing collection of electronic resources, including several databases from EastView, Integrum and CEEOL.

There are three methods of accessing subscription resources off campus:

1. Departmental Server. Members of the Department can use all e-resources via the terminal server.
2. VPN (Virtual Private Network). Register with OUCS to log on to the network via VPN. Once logged on you can access all e-resources as if you were on campus.
3. Single Sign On. Sign on to SOLO or your University email and your browser retains the sign on. This allows you to access most e-resources as if you were on campus.
