	text:  larger  smaller		As part of the Bodleian Library, the Bodleian Law Library benefits from legal deposit of legal materials published in the British Isles, and shares in the infrastructural advantages of the largest university library in the country. Although not managed by the Law Faculty, the Law Library has a close relationship with it and inhabits the same building, the St Cross Building. Unlike some other parts of the Bodleian, the Law Library offers almost all of its paper holdings - some 400,000 items - on open shelves in a purpose-built space. As well as meeting the needs of undergraduate law students, the library serves a large community of more advanced users with more sophisticated requirements. In particular it has excellent US and Commonwealth materials, strong European and international collections, and extensive holdings in the philosophy and sociology of law and in criminology. Oxford University Library Services (of which the Bodleian is a part) also provides an extensive collection of online research resources for law and many other disciplines, most of them distributed across the university network.
