Inside the Bodleian: Building a 21st Century Library

A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of Oxford's vast main library, the Bodleian, and how its staff are working to make this ancient institution ready for future generations of readers.

I feel privileged to have worked in this great building, and to have added something that many people will appreciate for years to come!

The Bodleian : Enormous and Spectacular.

It appears that the report of the death of the library (and the book) was an exaggeration.

Makes me miss the Bod! Well-produced, positive and heartening message from Richard Ovenden on the importance of libraries for the future.

This is not a Library, this is a book warehouse.

It's fantastic, I love big, old-style libraries. But please move on, make all these books available online.
