	National library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A national library is a library specifically established by the government of a nation to serve as the preeminent repository of information for that country.
		National libraries are usually notable for their size, compared to that of other libraries in the same country.
		One of the main goals of a national library is fulfilling their nation's part of the common international goal of universal bibliographic control, by ensuring the bibliographic control of all the books or book-like documents published in that particular country or talking about that particular country, in any way.

		The Bodleian Library in the University of Oxford is named after its founder Sir Thomas Bodley, but its roots go back to much earlier endeavours relating to the creation of college libraries.
		The original core of the library, which had an entirely academic orientation, was augmented by an important collection of books owned by Thomas Cobham, Bishop of Worcester, but despite his good intentions and generosity, poor financial administration meant that the library was not completed and fully quipped until 1410.
		The regeneration of the library was not long in coming, however, and it was given the name of a man of profound humanist education, Thomas Bodley, who thought it inconceivable that an educational centre of the stature of Oxford should operate without a library.

	Staff condemnation, 16/3/2001
		The library is accused of trying to turn "a centre of scholastic excellence into a theme park" in a damning letter sent to the Oxford Times by a Bodleian a staff member.
		Sir, It is gratifying to learn of John Goddard's disquiet at the planned Bodleian visitor programme (report, 9th March) as it is entirely shared by a large number of Bodleian staff, who regard the project as cynical and opportunist.
		To add to the insult for library staff, who object to a centre of scholastic excellence being turned into such a theme park, large numbers of us will have to be moved to a new location in the wasteland of Osney Mead, some two miles away, to make room for this and other projects.

		As a general principle it is understood that the Bodleian's holdings of official publications should reflect the Library's status as a major research institution; and that, except where otherwise stated, those holdings should form the principal concentration of such materials in Oxford.
		As a legal deposit library we have an excellent representation of publications from government bodies, these date in the section from 1900 and our collection of official publications is only comparable with that of other copyright libraries in the United Kingdom.
		This is due to the constraints of space, therefore, the majority of the periodicals are housed in the Bodleian bookstack.
