Just came back from a hard morning at the Bod myself... I find I do *some* work there, which is more than can be said for most of the other libraries I've been to (SSL, which is *amazing*, History, Philosophy... that's it actually. Plus college library obviously)

Collecting libraries is fun, isn't it?:biggrin: I've used the obvious ones (college library, faculty library, upper and lower camera, old Bodleian), but also to the new Bodleian (music section), Taylorian, Social Science Library and - for some obscure reason that made sense to me in my first year - the Bodleian Law Library.:confused:


The law bod is quite good actually... theres lots of light and all the books are the same colour, which is a trick that never gets old...
I use the Bod, and the college library if I have to, but little else. I loathe the Sackler, and the Philosophy library. And the Rad Cam's always too crowded.

What do you loathe about the Sackler? It has a water dispenser which is a life-saver, and the desks are nice and big etc. It is a bit clinical though and I would normally use the college library, except it's been completely taken over by finalists.
It's the light in there, I can't stand it. I can't spend any more time there thn is absolutely necessary. That, and I've yet to find a friendly member of staff :p:

I take your point about the light, but I've always found the staff friendly and helpful (much friendlier than the college librarians at least!)!

I heard some story about in the Olden Days putting your white carnation in red inkwell, so over the course it darkened - but that may be entirely made up.
If I'd been told this a couple of weeks ago, I'd have so done it.
