Laura Cracknell

College Librarian

The role of the library is to ensure that all students have everything they need to successfully complete their courses. As well as providing books and study space, library staff can help with research skills, referencing, and buying books on request as needed. We also care for the College’s rare books collection, providing access for external researchers, and talks or handling sessions for current students. The resources available to students in Oxford are world-class, but the sheer volume can be hard to navigate. Library staff can help guide students through databases, journals and library catalogues to make sure they spend more time studying than wading through unmanageable lists of books and articles. Whatever students need, we’re here to help.
