It was just called simply "The Science Library" in my day! My most vivid memory of being in here would have been in late 1978 when working on the write-up of our 3rd year Organic Chemistry project. I discovered in the literature a reaction which explained why the fourth stage of an six or eight stage synthesis gave us an awful mixture of products which consisted mainly of the compound we had started with three weeks before.
