|Description summary = The description varies based on your {{IL|Experimental Object}}.
{{Variant table|Condition = Experimental Object|Condition alias = Experiment|Effect = Description|Compact = yes
|Value {{EO|40}} = There is doubtless something useful in your collection of encyclopedias and reference works.
|Value {{EO|130}} - {{EO|160}} = Your own collection covers encyclopedias of historical weaponry, armour, cannonry, and mobile battlefield inventions. For the more extensive and peculiar items, you may need to resort to the University's other libraries as well.
|Value {{EO|230}}, {{EO|240}}, {{EO|260}} = […] this is the shelf you're looking for. Every journal ever to have emerged from the Department of Neocartography. Several respected studies of Infernal Estates. A handwritten account of London's post-lapsarian street names, signed by a Doctor A. W.
|Value {{EO|310}}, {{EO|320}}, {{EO|350}}, {{EO|360}} = Your collection includes a number of works on engineering and mechanics, and a very very tiny pamphlet on Predominant Manufacturing Techniques of Rodent Engineers.
|Value {{EO|410}} - {{EO|470}}, {{EO|495}} = If you peruse your own shelves, you may find something of value filed between Cryptology, Esoteric and Herpetology, Exotic.
|Value {{EO|510}}, {{EO|520}}, {{EO|530}}, {{EO|540}} = Your shelves are richly stocked with all the standard reference works on Cryptopalaeontology and Palaeomycology.
|Value {{EO|820}} = Your fellow researchers have, over the years, presented you with many beautifully bound proceedings from the university's conferences in Errant Geologies.
|Value {{EO|920}}, {{EO|930}}, {{EO|950}}, {{EO|960}}, {{EO|990}} = Your chemical […] library incorporates works on Rarefactions both Venomous and Infernal. There is a shelf on Tonsorial Alchemy, and […] on the Transmutation of Lead into Slightly Paler Lead. There is even a rare […] copy of An Experimenter's Guide to Emetics.
|Value {{EO|1010}}, {{EO|1030}}, {{EO|1040}}, {{EO|1050}} = Your library includes a comprehensive study of Epigraphical Mathematics, complete with […] formulae. There are also several excellent monographs on Paradoxic Optics, and some works of Xenotheology that approach the territory of maths from the far side.
|Value {{EO|1210}} = Your botanical library is brief and terrifying, but it may nonetheless yield some insights, if it doesn't stain your fingers green first.
|Value {{EO|1320}}, {{EO|1340}}, {{EO|1350}} = You have a grand […] collection on all matters of antiquity and archaeology. Several tomes were borrowed permanently from the Department of Cryptospelunking […] during a period when the dean of that department was temporarily indisposed (by death). […]
|Value {{EO|1610}} = You do have a collection of journals on famous nautical voyages. Once merely shelf-filler, but now, at last their hour. Many, however, are preposterous. But perhaps a kernel of truth amidst the boats of lying colonels?
