Purpose of this guide
This guide is intended for students studying Creative Writing at Oxford University Department for Continuing Education, although of course all students in this field may find it useful.
Use this guide to find out about the print collections for Creative Writing in the Rewley House Continuing Education Library and also about electronic resources such as e-books, e-journals, and databases. You'll also find some tips on searching library resources effectively.
Who can use which resources?
Weekly class students
Students enrolled on a Continuing Education weekly class which includes a written assignment can:
- register to borrow books and films from the Continuing Education Library.
- access electronic resources such as e-books, journal articles and databases from within the university network, for example in the Library or in the resources room at Ewert House. Weekly class students cannot access subscription resources from home, but there are many free online resources available.
Students on award-bearing courses
Students enrolled on an award-bearing Continuing Education course, such as the MSt in Creative Writing or the Undergraduate Diploma in Creative Writing, can:
- register to borrow books and films from the Continuing Education Library.
- become a member of other Oxford University libraries such as the English Faculty Library and the Bodleian.
- access electronic resources such as e-books, journal articles and databases from any internet connection using your Single Sign On.
Other members of the University
Staff and students of the University who are not members of the Continuing Education Department may use the Library for reference. Short loans may be made in exceptional circumstances: please ask at the Library desk.
