The Somerville College Library is a member of OLIS. We estimate that 75% of our holdings are on OLIS. This includes all current accessions since 1999. Almost all books on open shelves in the Main Library are on OLIS. Periodicals (including those in the Main Library), antiquarian books, special collections, and older books stored in the Loft 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 Somerville College Library.
