Indian Institute Library
The Indian Institute Library is a dependent library of the Bodleian and part of the University of Oxford in Oxford, England. Opened in 1886, the library specialises in the history and culture of South Asia, Tibet and the Himalayas.〔Bodleian Library: Department of Oriental Collections: 'Indian Institute Library', http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/oriental/iil.htm, accessed 2007-02-14.〕 The Indian Institute and its library were originally based in the building now occupied by the History Faculty Library, on the corner of Holywell and Catte Street. (The History Faculty moved to a location on George Street in 2007, although the History Faculty Library remained in the old Indian Institute building) Traces of the building's original function are still visible, including the gilded weathervane which depicts an elephant with a howdah.
In 1968, the library was relocated to a newly constructed 'penthouse' on the roof of the New Bodleian building. The move was not without controversy, since the original building had been constructed with the express intention of providing a permanent home to the institute.〔Oxford University History Faculty, 'History of the faculty building', http://163.1.10.19/resources/building.htm, accessed 2007-02-14.〕
The library remains on the top floor of the Bodleian, which results in the strange situation of a lending library being based within a reference library. The library's collection is of international importance and includes over 100,000 volumes.〔University of Oxford: South Asian Studies, http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/postgraduate/caz/sout.shtml, accessed 2007-02-14.〕 Around 60% of these are catalogued on OLIS, the Oxford University library catalogue.〔Oxford University Library Services: Library Guide, 'Indian Institute Library', http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/libraries/guides/IND.html, accessed 2007-02-14.〕 Anyone wishing to use the library must either be a student at the University of Oxford, or obtain a reader's card from the Bodleian Library. The library's reading room was closed on September 10, 2010.〔http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/bodley/finding-resources/rooms/iirr〕 Readers willing to access the books should have them delivered to other reading rooms of the Bodleian library.
