pág.309-310. "Another surprising model, which marks the change established in the world of libraries, is Scott Brownrigg's. The problem of the scarcity of space, produced by the increase in the number of editions, has produced a stockage in important libraries, which has forced the creation of external deposits. This is the case of this “library”. Given the high prices that downtown stores have acquired, the University of Oxford has decided to create a legal depository for books (not reading), in Swindow, 45 km from Oxford, which has 262 km of shelves and creates a large depository for the 3,000.000 of annual acquisitions that are carried out."
