Scope and Use of the Collection

Published by Oxford University Press, the Very Short Introductions (VSIs) cover a very wide range of subjects.  New College Library’s Very Short Introductions Collection provides approaching 600 titles, one of the largest holdings in the University.

All the VSIs are shelved in the Group Study Room on the Library’s Lower Floor.  All these books start with the shelfmark VSI/.  All may be borrowed by New College students and staff.

To identify titles you need to borrow, word-search the listing below, with the name of the topic you need concise information on (using synonyms, as necessary).  All VSIs are listed here alphabetically, by title:

| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |

Is there a published VSI you need that the Library does not hold?  If you wish to suggest new VSI titles to be added to the Collection, you are invited to contact the Librarian.
