Our DVD collection is one of the best in Oxford, offering around 3000 films from around the world. Films are kept in locked cupboards, so can only be borrowed when the library staff are in, on weekdays from 8:30 to 12:30 and from 2 to 5:30 during term (although Magdalen members can always phone/e-mail the library during our working hours and ask us to put a DVD on the “Awaiting Collection” trolley). DVDs can be borrowed by Magdalen members just like a normal book on the self-issue system, and external readers (after making an appointment via library.desk@magd.ox.ac.uk) may borrow films by leaving a £15 deposit. Most DVD loans are for 2 days or from Thursday/Friday to Monday, but boxsets are loaned for a week.
Below is a list of the latest additions to our collection. All of our DVDs are catalogued onto SOLO, and if you click on a film name from the list below then it’ll take you to that film’s record on SOLO. If want us to buy a film for you, please e-mail library@magd.ox.ac.uk.
If you’re looking for more film suggestions, we also have all of the 10 foreign language films you need to see before you die.
