New storage facility for the Bodleian!

I am amused by the title of this article: "What do you do with 8 million books? Build a shelf 153 miles long," by Richard Garner, The Independent. They offer pretty darned good retrieval times, and the thought that they were storing books in a former salt mine makes all kinds of alarms go off in my head.

(No, I'm not really a librarian myself, although I worked part-time in a couple of libraries when I was younger. My userpic is a quote from the third Librarian movie, and I just love it!)
