Bodleian only pretends to have web sites

update: answer is that you log in with your barcode and password from the SOLO service, not from whatever comes up when you search the web for "log in bodleian".

I used to be able to log in to the Bodleian's web site, using "barcode" id and a password, and order books to a reading room for the next day.  This was good.

Now, their login page doesn't provide that option.  I don't know how the concept of "Oxford Single Sign-On" has changed since I left -- perhaps this now includes mere Bodleian members.  I click on this, and get.. a Microsoft Live web page.  What the absolute fuck.


Instead, I try registering for an account, hoping to be able to link it to my existing membership id ("barcode") later.  Nope, it's "identify buses" time:

And of course, if you do the buses, then next it's traffic lights, then bridges, then motorcycles, and it never ends.  I'm not falling for it again. 

So how do I log in to the Bodleian's web site, or has it stopped actually existing?
