    Does anybody know how you obtain access to this room for the researchers hours, it says on the website that the public can only use it between 9:30 and 12, but the opening hours are listed as 9:30 am to 9pm. Anyone know how they decided whether or not you have researcher status?

    I am aware this is probably the wrong forum, feel free to relocate if it is not suited but I couldn't find any library forum.

    I can't think of anything funny to respond with, so here's a goat.

    The main reading room is open to anyone looking to consult material until 9pm Mon-Wed, 5pm Thursday and Friday and 1pm on Saturday. You'll need to get a reader's ticket at the desk as you go in. I've worked there and never heard of researchers hours so I wouldn't worry about that.

    I see, but what about the section "note" at the end of this page?

    That just means the hours that it's okay for people to come have a look at the place and that the rest of the time they want researchers (i.e. - people consulting material from the library who have a readers ticket) Are you going to see the place or to research? If it's to research once you have your readers ticket you'll be fine.

    I see, and anyone can get a reader's ticket? I don't have to be a professor or something?

    As much as I l'd like a library thread in AH, try the regional forum for whatever town the library is in.
