This year the Wellcome Library is piloting an electronic-only offer for the 'Year In Review'. Much of the Library's work uses web 2.0 technologies, and the Review offers a perfect opportunity to showcase new services online.
The Library completed a number of major projects in 2009, including the digitisation of 17th- and early 18th-century recipe books and 3000 AIDS posters. Wellcome Film launched a YouTube channel, and the Library blog reached its first birthday.
There were plenty of Library events, including a new series of Medicine in Literature talks, with authors such as Samuel Johnson Prize winner Philip Hoare. The exhibition 'China Through the Lens of John Thomson' displayed 19th-century photographs from the collections, touring a number of locations in China, and has recently been on show in Liverpool. The Wellcome Image Awards celebrated its tenth round, honouring 13 scientists and artists behind 19 extraordinary images.
The 'Year In Review' also offers insights into new acquisitions made by the Library in 2009 and highlights the work of some of the 38 000 people who used the Library for research last year.
