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?

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.

For me, it wasn't even the @bodleianlibs , it was being walked into the @SacklerLibrary and seeing all those books on the ancient world (after coming from a school without a library) and realising I could read *every* *single* *one* if I wanted.
"That you can survive anything that life throws at you." We asked Oxford alumni what Oxford meant to them, and this was one response from BBC journalist Dhruti Shah (Mansfield College, 2000) #whatoxfordmeanstome
