You can use SOLO to search for books held at St Hilda's Library.
For help on how to use and search on SOLO, see the Bodleian Libraries LibGuides site. To discover how to truly make the most of SOLO and other library resources within the University look out for opportunities to attend the Bodleian's workshops and classes.
The books in the Library are arranged by subject, using a modified version of the Dewey Decimal System.
Once you've found a College Library book on SOLO that you would like to use, note the classmark highlighted below. The classmark always begins with a three-digit number, e.g. '847.1 CAM 7'.
This number refers to a specific topic. You will often find books on similar topics next to each other on the shelf, which makes it easy to browse.
