| The library |
|
Oak Hill houses one of the finest theological libraries in the south-east. It provides historical material and a wide range of contemporary resources from a variety of traditions to support the teaching which takes place in college and to facilitate research.
There are over 54,000 items in stock, including multi-media items such as DVDs and CD-ROMs. On average, 200 items are added to the stock each month. A list of recent acquisitions is maintained on LibraryThing.
Access and library guide
The library is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to all members of the college community. Former Oak Hill students can join for an annual payment of £30, and visitors for an annual payment of £60 (9am-5pm only). Day visitors are allowed access for a daily charge of £5 (£3 for Old Oaks) if reading space permits. Please contact Wendy for further details.
Library Catalogue
The library is a member of the Theological Heritage User Group (a group of theological libraries who use the Heritage library management software) and eight of them, including Oak Hill, contribute to an online union catalogue – The THUG catalogue. It is easy to identify which items are available at Oak Hill. The separate Oak Hill catalogue is also available to college members on or off site on Acorn, the college intranet.
Journals
The library subscribes to over 200 current journals and also has a substantial collection of back issues. Some of these are also available online, although some need a username and password (members of the college community should contact Wendy for details).
Other Resources
The library has a good relationship with many other libraries, both theological, general, academic, national and international, which enables virtually any item to be sourced. For a general guide to theological resources on the Internet, use Intute. |
