Greetings, remaining faithful followers! Find & follow us over on our new account @BodArtLib, for all things Art, Archaeology & Ancient World Library – same library, different name! 😊

[Bodleian Art, Archaeology & Ancient World Library @BodArtLib]

Thank you to @bodleianlibs for hosting our #BodTakeover today!

We'll be posting more highlights from our collections over the coming weeks! 😊

[Bodleian Art, Archaeology & Ancient World Library @BodArtLib]

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👇

#BodTakeover

Did you know the @bodartlib is one of a few Bodleian libraries which houses its own Archive and Special Collections material?

[Bodleian Libraries @bodleianlibs]

#BodTakeover

You might know @bodartlib best for our vast Classics collection – including our well-loved Classics Lending Library, which might be *too* familiar to some of our Classics undergraduate students!

[Bodleian Libraries @bodleianlibs]

Today’s Bodleian Takeover is brought to you by the Bodleian Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library, on the launch day of our brand new account @BodArtLib!

#BodTakeover

[Bodleian Art, Archaeology & Ancient World Library @BodArtLib]

Calling all @UniofOxford students, @bodleianlibs readers, researchers, and anyone with an interest in Classics, Egyptology, Art History and more!

We've joined X to bring you glimpses into our collection, tips and tricks for using the library, updates and everything in between!

[Sackler Library @SacklerLibrary]

@profdanhicks @DrMairiDavies @OrkneyLibrary @welovehistory @HistEnvScot Wow, excellent crowd-sourcing! 👌

[Sackler Library @SacklerLibrary]

@joliheroics @IHR_Library We'd better get our thinking caps on!

[Sackler Library @SacklerLibrary]

@CraigClunas @odnb Nononono, definitely get out to the library. Launcelot needs you!

[Sackler Library @SacklerLibrary]

@DWFphoto @joliheroics We stand corrected!

[Sackler Library @SacklerLibrary]

Looks like we have ourselves a comedian, ladies and gentlemen...

Unfortunately, readers can only leave books on our Reservation Points overnight, and not for 2,500 years, so this one's going back on the shelves. Sorry, Pindar.

[Sackler Library @SacklerLibrary]

@e_stanf Just doing so!

[Sackler Library @SacklerLibrary]

@e_stanf @bodleianlibs @bla222 @PiersatPenn @NewberryLibrary @bibliovaticana The thing is huge, even our mega-scanner wasn't big enough (we had to stitch two images together). Please do digitise! 😁

(Psst! They're near the bottom right-hand corner!)

When the Sac swoops in to provide proper arks with unicorns in 👌 (what's the point otherwise?) #UnicornOnBoard

[Bodleian Libraries @bodleianlibs]

@e_stanf @bla222 @PiersatPenn @NewberryLibrary @bibliovaticana We submit this ark, complete with a unicorn, for your consideration. Athanasius Kircher really knew his stuff.

(Kircher's Arca Nöe, from @SacklerLibrary #MM:KIR [fol.])

UPDATE: the Book Storage Facility is closed due to worsening weather conditions, so we won't have a book delivery this afternoon either. We're sorry for the disruption - any live stack requests are now expected to arrive on Monday.

[Sackler Library @SacklerLibrary]

Your hardy library crew have battled the blizzards of Oxford to make it in today, so we are OPEN as usual! However, there will be no morning stack delivery.

Keep an eye out for further updates in case of worsening weather.

[Sackler Library @SacklerLibrary]

@bodleianlibs Ooh. It's close! We're talking about similar budgets, of course, so it's an entirely fair contest 😜

[Sackler Library @SacklerLibrary]

If you haven't yet taken the Reader Survey, please do, at https://t.co/HFUW0HtcTC.

@KathrinLuddecke @bodleianlibs Thanks for the feedback, Kathrin - we'll pass that on to The Survey Powers That Be.
