BODLEIAN LIBRARY: APPLICATION TO HERITAGE LOTTERY FUND
The Bodleian Library is preparing a bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for funding to support improvements and restoration works in the Old Bodleian complex, including Duke Humfrey's Library, and to improve the management of visitors. This work, if agreed, would begin during 1998. It is planned to develop a visitors' programme which will allow access to the Proscholium, Divinity School, Convocation House, and the Chancellor's Court. Readers would gain entrance to the Library through the Great Gate and then into either one of the two original library entrances in the Quadrangle (Schola Moralis Philosophiae and Schola Vetus Medicinae). Tourists would enter the doorway (at present not used) in the Proscholium from the area between the Sheldonian Theatre and the Divinity School. A small entrance fee would be made for tourist admission to the areas described above. It is intended that these changes would help to reduce both noise and congestion within the Old Schools Quadrangle.
Further details in connection with this proposal are available from the Secretary of the Bodleian Library, and there will also be a small, simple display in the Divinity School which will show plans, drawings, and explanations of the details of the Heritage Lottery bid. Any responses or comments on the proposed renovations and improvements to the Library and the visitor programme should be returned to the Secretary of the Library by 10 January so that the Library can meet the deadline of 31 January for the submission of application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The subject of the conference will be `Oxford United: or, moving the goalposts—library management in a "federal" university.' Further details will be sent to libraries during Hilary Term.

St John's College
North Senior Scholarships 1997
The college proposes to elect, from October 1997, two North Senior Scholars, who will be required to work for a higher degree of the University, under a supervisor appointed by a faculty board. Candidates, in any subject, will normally have completed a first degree, be aged twenty-five or under at the starting date, and be in receipt of United Kingdom graduate awards covering the academic year 1997–8.
The scholarships, tenable for two years, will augment the value of whatever award is already held for 1997–8 to that of an award from a government agency, includ- ing full fees. Senior Scholars are entitled to a free room in college, and to dine at high table once a week in full term.
Further particulars and application forms may be obtained from the College Secretary, St John's College, Oxford OX1 3JP, to whom completed application forms should be sent as soon as possible, and not later than 24 January.
