Oxford has the largest and finest academic library system in the UK, providing New College students and academics with a rich and unparalleled range of academic e-resources.

The University’s e-resources are available to all current members of New College, Oxford, complementing New College Library’s important physical collections.

 

 

Getting Started

You can connect most easily and seamlessly to the University’s e-resources if you start your search in SOLO, especially if you are unused to accessing specialist e-resources in your subject.

  • Over 1,500 databases, listed A-Z.  Home in on your subject in this list, using the subject drop-down provided.
  • Over 28,000 ejournals, listed A-Z.  This lists which ones are available, but do keyword searches in SOLO to discover ejournal articles useful to you.
  • Ebooks findable via SOLO.  Do you want to limit your SOLO search to ebooks and not print copies? Filter your search results in SOLO using the Show only: options on the left: click Online Resources

 

(The University moved to a new library management system and updated SOLO in August 2023; some links to catalogue records from New College Library webpages will be unavailable for a period of time.)
