One of my highlights of London

It's an actual access card to go to the reading rooms of the British Library. If I had been carrying a utility bill with me, then the card would have been good for a year, but since I'm not in the habit of doing so (perhaps I should), the card was only good for that day.

Which was sufficient. And simply not enough. I could have spent my entire time in London in the British Library and an additional week aside, and it would not have been enough time.

It was glorious and cool and I had tea and saw several groaning shelves of Mansell in the Humanities room.
I also hung out in the Business and IP Centre, which was styled as a small-business and entrepeneurial laboratory. I asked if there was any material on fair use, and the librarian directed me to the legal section (in the Social Science room).

I need to find a way to go back ... any ideas?
