The Bodleian Libraries have taken the Bodleian Incunable Catalogue Online resource offline, owing to a change in guidance within the University relating to cyber security.

The Bodleian Incunable Catalogue Online resource has therefore been taken offline as a precaution, in the light of the new guidance, while we develop new approaches to being able to support and deliver it.

We acknowledge how disruptive this has been to the many scholars and communities who use this resource. Alternative ways to access the Bodleian Incunable Catalogue Online resource are below, while we determine routes and funding to take the resource forward.
