Dear All, Apologies for cross-posting CLOSURE OF THE NEW BODLEIAN READING ROOM - relocation of the Map Reading Room Over the course of the summer, the Map, Music and Oriental services will be relocated in anticipation of the major refurbishment of the New Bodleian Library building, due to take place over the next five years. Maps reference material will be moved to Duke Humfrey's Library in the Old Bodleian over the course of the next few weeks. The New Bodleian Reading Room is expected to close on Friday 10th September* and the move will be completed in the week beginning 13th September*, during which time Duke Humfrey's Library will also need to be closed for a period and the Map open shelf collections will be unavailable. >From Monday 20th September*, all Map material currently read in the NBRR will need to be ordered to and read in Duke Humfrey's Library. The gradual movement of Maps open-shelf material should help to minimise the period during which the reading rooms will be closed entirely but will mean that, for a period of some weeks, readers visiting the Library may have to use two reading rooms in order to consult the material they need. Library staff will endeavour to keep OLIS updated with the latest location information but it is recommended that readers contact Library staff in advance of their visit for advice. Special Collections Readers wishing to consult manuscript Maps and rare atlases will continue to be directed to the temporary Special Collections Reading Room at the Radcliffe Science Library. *These dates are subject to confirmation. Further Information More information will be posted on the Library's webpages as it becomes available. If you have further questions about the moves and their impact on services, please contact Library staff as follows: Maps [email protected] 01865 277013 / 287300 The Library apologises for the inconvenience this will undoubtedly cause and would be grateful for patience and understanding on the part of readers during this difficult time of major upheaval. With best wishes, Nick _______________________________________________________ Nick Millea Map Librarian, Bodleian Library, Broad Street, Oxford, OX1 3BG Tel: 01865 287119 Fax: 01865 277139 Email: [email protected] ***PLEASE NOTE NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!*** Homepage: http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/guides/maps/ Temporary move of Special Collections: More information at: www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/scmoves _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ MapHist: E-mail discussion group on the history of cartography hosted by the Faculty of Geosciences, University of Utrecht.
