College Librarian

Emma Sillett

  • I am responsible for the college library’s reader services, book collection development and strategy.

  • I oversee the cataloguing, conservation and display of the library’s historic collections.

I am here to help readers get the most out of the book collections, services and study spaces offered by Trinity Library.

My job is to ensure that the college library is responsive to readers’ needs. I am happy to receive book requests from all members of Trinity College, and suggestions for improvements to our services are always welcome. Readers with disabilities are encouraged to contact me in confidence to discuss what additional support we can provide.

I am also responsible for the medieval Old Library and Danson Library, and the rich and varied collections held within. Protecting and sharing this precious part of the College’s heritage is an important aim of mine.

Before coming to Trinity, I have worked in a number of other Oxford libraries.
