At the British Library, computers may be used in the
typing room off the North Library gallery. They may be
used in the North Library (= rare books room) only at
a side table next to the issue desk and only with
permission, keyboard noise being the issue. In both
cases electric outlets may be used if desired. Computers
may not ordinarily be used in the main reading room or,
so far as I know, in the Department of Manuscripts.

Subject: On Top of My Lap in the Bodleian
A question was recently raised regarding the policy of the British Library
toward the use of portable computers for note-taking within the precincts of
the library. I'd like to raise the same question regarding the Bodleian and
other Oxford libraries. What is (or is there) a policy regarding the
use of these instruments in the public reading rooms or other study
facilities? Thank you. Kevin L. Cope ENCOPE@LSUVM
