Wellcome Library 'Year in Review' published

3 July 2009

The Library’s ‘Year in Review’ is out now and is available as a PDF document for viewing and downloading. It covers Library activities during 2008, specifically highlighting the digitisation programme.

The review also showcases some of the Library's 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 the Library's 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 the 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 the complimentary 'Vital Statistics' sheet, compiled to bring you up-to-date on the facts and figures behind the Library.
