I mean, how do we explain Hertfordshire being better than Imperial College (in all or any ranking)? I honestly think we have allowed our sense of reasoning to be clouded by emotions. Please leave rankings to professionals who already know how to do it and stop confusing people! Each school has it's own specialization!!!

(a real shame the BL don't just provide this) I don't know how comprehensive it is, and of course it is targetted at ILL (giving the addresses of ILL departments, rather than anything else) In terms of library codes, for the UK, the BL have a Directory of Library Codes, which they use for the Document Supply service. http://www.bl.uk/reshelp/atyourdesk/docsupply/help/replycodes/dirlibcodes/
