OLIS Catalogue

The Jesus College Library is a member of OLIS. We estimate that 96% of our holdings are on OLIS. This includes all current accessions since 1992. Almost all the College Library's printed monograph holdings, both antiquarian and modern, and an increasing proportion of its serial holdings are on OLIS. 1) The alumni-related collections of post-1800 printed books, and 2) the 19th- and earlier-20th century monographs and series in the Fellows' Library at present are not on OLIS.

The OLIS catalogue uses shortened forms of library names to give details of an item's location. The following table lists these codes for the Jesus College Library.
