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

The Serica 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 Bodleian Libraries' Chinese collections are below, while we determine routes and funding to take the Serica resource forward.

More on the background here: Bodleian Service Updates

Information about Chinese collections and finding aids can be accessed via the Bodleian Libraries' website.
