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!

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

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

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.
