The University library catalogue SOLO includes printed books and journals for most Oxford libraries.

You can search by author, title or subject and can limit your results to Trinity Library should you wish.

Here is a guide to using SOLO.

Ebooks, electronic journals and databases can also be accessed through SOLO. Lists of databases and journals, ordered alphabetically or by subject, are also available through the OxLIP+ (databases) or OU-EJournal links on the SOLO homepage.

Here is a guide to using these resources,

There are regular training sessions on SOLO, and specialised subject databases, run as part of the iSkills programme.

If you cannot find a book on your reading list in the Library, or if you would like to suggest a book purchase please contact the Librarian.

Although we welcome book suggestions  it may not be possible to buy every book. Multiple copies of text books are available in the Library and it is recommended that you share books with your colleagues whenever possible.

Trinity Library is open  to any member of the College, 24 hours a day, every day. Access is by fob.

Note: Members of other Oxford colleges will not normally be admitted to the Library. However, if the book you are looking for is unavailable elsewhere in Oxford it should be possible to arrange reference access. Please contact the Librarian to discuss this.
