Another look at the fascinating evolution of the library. The University of Oxford’s Bodleian Library has gone through enormous renovations in recent years, and the video below explains the changes and the thought process behind them. It’s particularly interesting to see the many levels on which change is occurring, from the role of the library on campus and as part of the community, to the role of the librarian and even the purpose and design of the physical building itself.

From it’s beginnings to today’s logistical management issues the Bodleian is, in my view, a priceless repository of knowledge. Thanks B.L. for this window into the renovations. May your organic growth continue to support scholarship worldwide.
