This link is to the 'Sounds of the Bodleian'. Students and researchers, who normally would be based in the library, were forced to do their work at home for many months. The Bodleian did run excellent scan and collect services, and as soon as they could arranged for readers to book slots at desks, but for many it was a remote interaction. To help with this the Bodleian put up sound recordings of the ambience in the Radcliffe Camera Upper, Duke Humfrey's, the Weston, and Bodleian Upper. You could have this on in the background, with an image of the interior on your screen, and imagine you were there. https://www.ox.ac.uk/soundsofthebodleian/#radcam
