Current and past issues
The library has been largely ignored, with episodic interest. We are currently making a real effort to set it up as a useful resource.
Trends and predictions
Once the library is set up, it could be a valuable adjunct to the education program. Various publishers have offered to supply new titles. It is unlikely to take up less space than it does now. There will need to be effort made to not let it fall into disuse again.
