The College Library 

An extremely significant source of research support is the College's generous library provision. The College Library, to which more than 10 per cent of the College's annual expenditure is devoted, contains around 195,000 items. The extensive collection of material in the Library is intended to meet the coursework and research needs of the College. .htm")' In its composition it reflects the central and continuing interest of the College in the fields of economics, politics, sociology and modern political, economic and social history. The Library's policy is to acquire major journals in these fields, the principal British official publications, and the most significant English-language academic books as soon as they are published. Foreign language material is bought selectively. The Library holds several collections of unpublished papers, most notably those of Lord Cherwell and of G D H Cole.

Students have access to the Library at all hours and enjoy liberal borrowing rights. There is a reader workstation giving access to a range of electronic resources (including J-STOR, Hansard, Bodleian Library pre-1920 catalogue, EconLit, PAIS, SocioFile).
