Library structure• One ‘hub’ library per division – reference

ELISO• Electronic Library and Information Service
for Oxford
• We are far behind Harvard – and Auckland
• ‘Catch-up’ plan – funded by savings through closing departmental libraries, reducing sites; break-even by 2010

Special Collections• New Bodleian Library (1930s) to be gutted
and re-modelled as Special Collections Library – post 2010
• http://www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/news/buildings/new_bodleian
• Theoretically, Plant Sciences, Forestry, Ornithology could move there
• BUT taxonomic books need to stay with herbarium, ornithology needs to stay with Edward Grey Institute

So…• We may stay as we are…
• BUT new appointments to Sibthorpian and Sherardian Professorships pending

Moving stock• Means re-classifying – no common scheme
in Oxford
