As such, its collection is growing at a rate of over three miles (five kilometres) of shelving every year.<ref>{{cite web |date=22 September 2005 |title=A University Library for the Twenty-first Century |url=http://www.ox.ac.uk/gazette/2005-6/supps/1_4743.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070902222824/http://www.ox.ac.uk/gazette/2005-6/supps/1_4743.htm |archive-date=2 September 2007 |access-date=9 October 2007 |work=University of Oxford |language=en-GB |publication-place=[[Oxford]]}}</ref>

The buildings referred to as the university's main research library, [[Bodleian Library|The Bodleian]], consist of the original Bodleian Library in the Old Schools Quadrangle, founded by [[Thomas Bodley|Sir Thomas Bodley]] in 1598 and opened in 1602,<ref>{{cite web|title=Sir Thomas Bodley and his Library |work=[[Oxford Today]] |url=http://www.oxfordtoday.ox.ac.uk/2001-02/v14n2/03.shtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061009055336/http://www.oxfordtoday.ox.ac.uk/2001-02/v14n2/03.shtml |archive-date=9 October 2006 |year=2002 |access-date=23 October 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref> the [[Radcliffe Camera]], the [[Clarendon Building]], and the [[Weston Library]]. A tunnel underneath [[Broad Street, Oxford|Broad Street]] connects these buildings, with the Gladstone Link, which opened to readers in 2011, connecting the Old Bodleian and Radcliffe Camera.

The [[Bodleian Libraries]] group was formed in 2000, bringing the Bodleian Library and some of the subject libraries together.<ref name="timeline">{{cite web|url=http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/113853/BodLibs-TIMELINE-2000-2012.pdf|title=Timeline of Bodleian Libraries Events from 2000|access-date=16 December 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121123105538/http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/113853/BodLibs-TIMELINE-2000-2012.pdf|archive-date=23 November 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> It now comprises 28<ref name="Bodleian_Libraries_list">{{cite web|url=http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/libraries/libraries/bodleian |title=Bodleian Libraries |publisher=[[Bodleian Library]] |archive-date=23 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121123095722/http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/libraries/libraries/bodleian |url-status=dead}}</ref> libraries, a number of which have been created by bringing previously separate collections together, including the [[Sackler Library]], [[Bodleian Law Library|Law Library]], [[Bodleian Social Science Library, Oxford|Social Science Library]] and [[Radcliffe Science Library]].<ref name="timeline" /> Another major product of this collaboration has been a joint integrated library system, [[Oxford Libraries Information System|OLIS]] ('''O'''xford '''L'''ibraries '''I'''nformation '''S'''ystem),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/bdlss/olis-ils |title= OLIS (Integrated Library System) |publisher=Bodleian Digital Library Systems and Services |access-date=13 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130827200924/http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/bdlss/olis-ils |archive-date=27 August 2013 |url-status=live }}</ref> and its public interface, [[Search Oxford Libraries Online|SOLO]] ('''S'''earch '''O'''xford '''L'''ibraries '''O'''nline), which provides an electronic catalogue covering all member libraries, as well as the libraries of individual colleges and other faculty libraries, which are not members of the group but do share cataloguing information.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://libguides.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/solo |website=Oxford LibGuides |title=Contents – SOLO – Search Oxford Libraries Online|publisher=Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford|access-date=5 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130618121121/http://libguides.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/solo|archive-date=18 June 2013|url-status=live}}</ref>
