JS Library in review

Posted on by

The end of the year is looming…
It is time to reflect and consider the achievements over the year.
Oliver reports still need to be run and our stocktake is yet to come. Hopefully we will find lots of lovely surprises.

Currently I am working on the JS Library Annual Report . A PDF of the report will be posted next week on the wiki page.

This week is our last week of class borrowing. Stay tuned for the top borrowing class for 2011. Will it be your class?

You can view a snapshot of the term on the JSLibrary wiki page.

Watch the photopeach to see some photos from this term in the JS Library.
