Well, I was only told I wanted this book at about 4pm, so probably wouldn't have been able to retrieve anything from the stacks til today. I foolishly assumed that I'd be home with my book from Blackwells by 5.
Also, I anticipate wanting the book for reference over a period of time so my own copy makes more sense.
I actually don't know about the Bod's policy on computer books (which live in the Radcliffe Science Library, not the Bod Proper). When I wanted them as a student the problem was more too few copies; I don't know what it's like now. I'm inclined to forget about the usefulness of a deposit library on the doorstep, though, so thanks for the reminder!
(I must investigate how to search the catalogue on the interweb these days; I believe OLIS has been shot in the back of the head and replaced with something friendlier.)
