One of our favourite things about our library is the interactive floorplan which can be searched by shelfmark to help readers find resources! Very handy to have in a circular library📍
Find it at the link below👇

On the new @bodartlib account, we’re highlighting things that it make it easier to navigate the Art Library.
We’re one of the only Bod libraries (so far!) to have an interactive floorplan map to help our readers find items by shelfmark!

Did you know the @bodartlib is one of a few Bodleian libraries which houses its own Archive and Special Collections material?

ALT This image features two hands holding the corners of a print on a dark background. There are two piles of paper in the image.

ALT A print taken from one of the items in the Livres D’Artistes Collection at the Bodleian Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library, on loan from the Taylor Institution. It features an ink drawing of a raven with wings, sketched in a geometric pattern on a plain sheet of paper. The print is placed on top of a stack of papers underneath.

You might know @bodartlib best for our vast Classics collection – including our well-loved Classics Lending Library, which might be *too* familiar to some of our Classics undergraduate students!

Calling all @UniofOxford students, @bodleianlibs readers, researchers, and anyone with an interest in Classics, Egyptology, Art History and more!
We've joined X to bring you glimpses into our collection, tips and tricks for using the library, updates and everything in between!
Replying to @joliheroics @IHR_Library
We'd better get our thinking caps on!
The thing is huge, even our mega-scanner wasn't big enough (we had to stitch two images together). Please do digitise! 😁
When the Sac swoops in to provide proper arks with unicorns in 👌 (what's the point otherwise?) #UnicornOnBoard
We submit this ark, complete with a unicorn, for your consideration. Athanasius Kircher really knew his stuff.
(Kircher's Arca Nöe, from @SacklerLibrary #MM:KIR [fol.])
UPDATE: the Book Storage Facility is closed due to worsening weather conditions, so we won't have a book delivery this afternoon either. We're sorry for the disruption - any live stack requests are now expected to arrive on Monday.
Your hardy library crew have battled the blizzards of Oxford to make it in today, so we are OPEN as usual! However, there will be no morning stack delivery.
Keep an eye out for further updates in case of worsening weather.
Replying to @bodleianlibs
Ooh. It's close! We're talking about similar budgets, of course, so it's an entirely fair contest 😜
Replying to @KathrinLuddecke @bodleianlibs
Thanks for the feedback, Kathrin - we'll pass that on to The Survey Powers That Be.
If you haven't yet taken the Reader Survey, please do, at bodleian.ox.ac.uk/reader-sur….
It's your chance to tell us what you like about the Sac & other @bodleianlibs, and what changes you'd like to see - and you could win £50 of Amazon vouchers! 🤑
