As Dean of the Oxford College Library, I would like to invite you to the intellectual hub of campus serving all patrons with 24/7 access for faculty, staff and students during the regular semester. We now have six teaching librarians to support faculty teaching and scholarship. Specifically, we have assigned each faculty member a personal librarian to connect you with library resources and services. Our main objective is to provide excellent customer service for students, faculty and staff!
I know you will appreciate all we can offer you including:
- an expansive learning commons or an intimate book nook;
- multiple collaborative learning spaces;
- technology-enriched classrooms;
- a gallery featuring the current exhibit, Still Raising Hell: The Art, Activism, and Archives of Camille Billops and James V. Hatch;
- a Special Collections Reading Room;
- over 60,000 volumes in compact shelving;
- technology rich classrooms, study rooms, and a conference room available for online reservations;
- coffee, café and vending;
- outdoor patio; and,
- a host of laptops, iPads, and other technology available for check-out.
The Oxford College Library is so pleased you are here and we appreciate the many areas of expertise you bring to our campus!  We look forward to seeing you in the library soon!

We now have access to the following research databases:
- Africa Knowledge Project: Africa Knowledge Project promotes Critical African Studies and disseminates Africa-centered, evidence-based knowledge on Africa and African Diaspora.
- CC Search: CC Search searches across more than 300 million images from open APIs and the Common Crawl dataset. It goes beyond simple search to aggregate results across multiple public repositories into a single catalog, and facilitates reuse through features like machine-generated tags and one-click attribution.
- Gale Primary Sources: Digital historical documents from over 500 years of world history, curated by Gale and partnering libraries from around the world.
- Making of the Modern Law: Foreign Primary Sources: Historical legal codes, statutes, regulations and commentaries on codes from the UK, France, Germany and other countries in northern Europe.
- RIPM Jazz (Retrospective Index to Music Periodicals: Jazz): 105 full-text, searchable jazz periodicals published in the United States between 1914–2000.
If you have questions about any of these resources or if you have suggestions for new resources we should add, please contact your Personal Librarian.
