Library Year In Review 2009 goes live

Last week the Library launched its latest Year In Review. This year, we have opted for an electronic-only format, and the PDF of the Review is available for viewing and downloading from our website.

2009 was the Library's busiest year to date, with visitor numbers topping the 38,000 mark. The Review focuses on services for our in-person visitors, and also showcases a number of initiatives which are available via the web for our users worldwide.

We hope you enjoy the Review. As ever we are keen to hear from our users about their research and how they make use of the Library and its resources, so please feel free to get in touch.

Wellcome Library Year in Review published

The Library’s Year in Review is out now and is available as a PDF document for viewing and downloading. It covers our activities during 2008, specifically highlighting our digitisation programme. We also showcase some of our exciting acquisitions from the year, including the casebooks of the ‘father of modern forensics’ Sir Bernard Spilsbury and the notebooks of double Nobel Prize winning geneticist Fred Sanger.

Two of our regular readers, independent researcher Andy Clark and postgraduate student Katherine Rawling, also offer their insights into the experience of a Wellcome Library user.

The live links within the PDF document allow you to click straight through to the most recent updates on the Library catalogues and websites.

In 2008 Wellcome Library recorded over 33,000 visitors to its facilities and over 486,000 unique visitors to its website. For more information like this, see our complimentary Vital Statistics sheet, compiled to bring you up to date on the facts and figures behind the Library.
