The College Library
LMH has a large working library (approx. 75,000 books) and is open to all members of the College 24 hours a day. The Library also has a study and life skills section, DVDs, Molymod kits, as well as a selection of accessibility aids for use within the library (including coloured overlays, noise reduction headphones, and a variety of book / laptop stands). If you require a book which the Library does not hold, please recommend it to the Librarian for purchase. From the Library, students have access to all the electronic resources (catalogues, databases, e-journals) provided by the University. There is a computer room in the Library, well equipped with computers, and printing and photocopying facilities. You can find out more about the Library and its facilities here.
You will only be able to borrow books once you have attended a Library induction session and familiarised yourself with the Library Rules. If you miss your scheduled session, you will need to contact the Librarian for the relevant information.
University Libraries
You will be given introductions and inductions to all of the University libraries relevant for your subjects during Freshers’ week. If you miss these sessions, you should make a point of visiting the library at the earliest opportunity, certainly before you need a book in a hurry. Most University libraries will have leaflets available to explain how to use their resources, and further information can also be found here.
Other college libraries can normally only be used by appointment with their Librarian, to consult books not held in the Bodleian or faculty libraries.
Print facilities
We have a chargeable print system which allows for mono and colour A4/A3 printing. A free quota is issued at the beginning of each year, with further printing charged to battels on a per sheet basis. Please contact the LMH IT Office for further details.
Computing facilities
If you bring your own computer to LMH, there is a wireless network that covers all the College buildings and there are ethernet points are installed in all College bedrooms. There are also computers available in the LMH Library. Printing is available, either directly from the computers in the library or via the college web print service. Please note that the University-wide Wi-Fi service, which we use in the College, is not able to accept connections from devices such as wireless printers, smart TVs, smart speakers or games consoles.
