Statistics for 2001-2002
This year saw considerable restructuring of staffing in the Library, following the appointment in February 2002 of Oxford University Library Services' first History Librarian, with joint responsibility for the History Faculty Library and the Wellcome Unit for the History of Medicine Library, as well as the Bodleian Library History Collections and Services and the Upper Reading Room.
