History
The Social Science Library officially opened 1st October 2004, following a period in which subject collections housed within smaller units were amalgamated into a central library site.The institution was preceded by the Social Studies Libraries; a grouping of three separate libraries:
* Politics, International Relations, and Sociology Library (PIRS)
* Economics Library (formerly the Institute of Economics and Statistics (IES) until 1999)
* Social Policy and Social Work Library (SPSW)These three libraries were the first to be combined, at the site of the existing Economics Library, between 2002 and 2003. Further integration followed with the Criminology Library and Socio-Legal Studies Library moving to the site in 2004. The collections housed at the International Development Centre (IDS) at Queen Elizabeth House joined the Social Science Library after its launch, in the summer of 2005. Material from the Slavonic and East European collections, previously kept within the Bodleian Library Slavonic reading room, also moved in to the library later that year.
