The Radcliffe Science Library (RSL) is the main teaching and research science library at the University of Oxford, England. Being officially part of the Bodleian Library, although with a completely separate building, the library holds the Legal Deposit material for the sciences and is thus entitled to receive a copy of all British scientific publications. The library holds around a million items, with about a quarter of the holdings on display in the reading rooms.

  • The Radcliffe Science Library (RSL) is the main teaching and research science library at the University of Oxford, England. Being officially part of the Bodleian Library, although with a completely separate building, the library holds the Legal Deposit material for the sciences and is thus entitled to receive a copy of all British scientific publications. The library holds around a million items, with about a quarter of the holdings on display in the reading rooms. The rest are held in book stacks. The library was a reference library rather than a lending library until October 2007 . The nearby Hooke Library which was a science lending library for undergraduates, was integrated into the RSL during August 2007. The library was originally housed in the Radcliffe Camera, but now stands on the corner of Parks Road and South Parks Road in the Science Area of the University, next to the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Much of it is underground — the physical sciences reading room is beneath the southern half of the lawn in front of the museum. The library is named after John Radcliffe, a major benefactor of the University, like a number of other buildings in Oxford.
