Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book enters a debate about the Bodleian Library's historical stance on lending out its books. The author argues against a proposed change in the statute that would allow books to be lent from the library, arguing that such a change would damage the collection, inconvenience current readers, and break with the library's traditional policies. The author explores the history of the Bodleian, the reasons behind the no-lending policy, and the possible negative consequences of lending. The book emphasizes the special nature of the Bodleian collection and highlights the need to preserve it for future generations. It explores the principles of librarianship and the need to strike a balance between access to books and the preservation of a unique and irreplaceable collection.
