A rare find: the Library Assistant holds up a floppy disk found in the back of a withdrawn book.
There are a great many rare treasures and ancient artefacts to be found in the Library...

The Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone.
Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018%
But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%.
"Efficiency."

a bphil candidate in 1973-4 studies at York offered me access to superb original sources and some very fine faculty. Kings Manor was our place, and its rooms encouraged deep research and debate. As I lived in Constantine House, my experience was a complete package of access, location, and energy.
