As we continue to work and study from home, we mustn’t forget the amazing resource that most of us can access without leaving the house – the Orkney Library & Archive’s online resources. Most of these resources do require you to have an Orkney Library membership. Currently, if you were to email them on library@orkney.gov.uk they will set up membership for you, but will require a signature at a later date.

 

This document has been put together to introduce you to their resources: Orkney Library & Archive –  Online Resources & Oxford Reference.

If you are interested in local history, then the Archive page is also worth a look. They also have an archive blog, Get Dusty.

eBooks & eAudiobooks

With an Orkney Library membership, you can access eBooks and eAudiobooks for free via BorrowBox, and stream or download music via Freegal. Again, you will need a library membership to access these.

Orkney Talking Newspaper is also available via the website.
