The Bodleian Book Storage Facility takes delivery of its one millionth item"Dr Sarah Thomas, Bodley's Librarian, formally received the one millionth item into the Bodleian Book Storage Facility in Swindon on Friday 14 January 2011. This extraordinary feat has been achieved in just under three months and has required an average daily ingest rate of 19,000 books and periodicals per day by 32 staff. On peak days, and depending on the materials, as many as 42,000 items have been ingested. The Journal of General Physiology 1918 was the one millionth item to arrive at the Book Storage Facility"
