The Burn Law Library

• The Library is for use by current members of Christ Church reading Law only. You must not let anyone accompany or follow you into the Library. Students are not permitted to bring anyone into the Library at any time – anyone found doing this will be contacted and further disciplinary action might result as a consequence.
• The Burn Law Library is a silent study space. Please be mindful of your peers when studying in the Law Library and keep this a silent study space.
• If you wish to show the Burn Law Library to friends or family, please ask permission from the librarians library@chch.ox.ac.uk before you bring guests inside to avoid disturbing other students.
• Phones should be on silent and phone calls taken outside the Library building.
• Desks must be kept clear when not in use. You may not reserve a desk or leave personal belongings unattended. They will be removed by the Library team to allow for cleaning.
• No food and drink in the Library, except for bottled water. No hot drinks are permitted in the Law Library.
• Smoking or vaping is not permitted in or around the Library, nor in any other part of the college.
• No filming or photography is allowed inside the Burn Law Library. Anyone who wishes to take photos or film inside the Law Library should ask for permission from staff first by emailing library@chch.ox.ac.uk. The Law Library is first and foremost a working library for students and we aim to keep distractions to a minimum.

A wireless multifunctional printer is available in the stacks room of Law Library. Print jobs can be sent from Library PCs or from your own devices. To print visit the link https://printing.chch.ox.ac.uk:9192. The credentials you need to use to sign in are not your SSO, but instead the username (e.g. chri1234) and your Christ Church computer password. If you have not set this up, or need to reset the password then you can do so at the following link https://college-account.chch.ox.ac.uk.

Upload the documents you want to print then at the printer select 'Papercut' and tap your Bodleian library card on the sensor. Your documents will then appear and can be printed. You can print in mono, colour, single and double sided on A3 and A4 paper.

Lockers are available to current law students and are situated in the Entrance Hall of the Burn Law Library. They can be reserved on a term by term basis. Requests for a locker reservation can be made by emailing library@chch.ox.ac.uk, which are then followed up by filling in and returning a locker form (available from the main library desk during staffed hours). You will receive a key for the locker when this form is completed, and will have to provide a £10 deposit. The deposit will be returned when the agreement ends (at the end of term, unless renewed). If the key is lost, or some damage is done to the locker, then the deposit will not be returned. The library claims no responsibility for personal items left in lockers. We strongly recommend you do not leave items of value in your locker. The rules for the lockers are as follows:

• Strictly one locker per person. 
• Locker keys must not to be lent to anyone, and must only be used by the person they are signed out to.
• Lockers must not be used to store or reserve Christ Church library books (either from the Law Library, or the main Library).
• Food, drinks, and materials that could damage other readers’ property must not be stored in the lockers.
• Items left in the locker will be removed the day after your agreed period ends. If not collected within an agreed timeframe, they will be disposed of.
• Library staff retain the right to access lockers as and when deemed necessary (e.g. to remove any books being kept in there). Periodic inspections may take place to ensure these rules are being followed.

• All journal issues and most of the books in the Burn Law Library are reference-only and cannot be borrowed. Loanable books must not be removed from the Law Library without being checked out from the self-issue machine first. If the alarm sounds, go back and try to borrow the book again. If this still doesn’t work, please email library@chch.ox.ac.uk to ask staff for assistance.
• Law Library books can only be borrowed during term-time for 1 week at a time (with a maximum of 4 manual renewals allowed via SOLO).
• Law Library books cannot be borrowed during the vacations without specific permission from your tutors. If your tutor has given you permission to borrow a Law Library book over a vacation, please send confirmation of this to Library staff at library@chch.ox.ac.uk so that we can set the new due date for you.
• Students are responsible for all loans on their accounts. Christ Church will not fine you for returning items late to the Burn Law Library. Instead, students are responsible for keeping on top of their loans, which can be checked and renewed online via SOLO.
• If a loan becomes overdue, you will receive up to four overdue notices to remind you of any books that need to be renewed or returned. After the fourth overdue notice (one month overdue) your library account will be frozen and you will not be able to borrow any more books until the overdue item has been returned. If the book is still not returned one week after your fourth overdue notice, you will be charged the cost of a replacement copy for each overdue book + a £10 admin fee. Please email library@chch.ox.ac.uk if you have any issues with returning your loans on time.
• You must not borrow books on behalf of anyone else on your Library account and you must not allow anyone else to use your Bodleian card to borrow books either. The account holder will be held responsible for all books and overdue loans on their Library account. If you need assistance in retrieving books from the Law Library to borrow, please email library@chch.ox.ac.uk so that staff can assist you.
