More annual reports for collection(s)

As Annual Reports contain important information about Legislation, Codes of Conduct and Industry trends we should have a more extensive collection of them in hard copy on the shelves in the Reference area. AR's such as the Australian Institute of Management would be useful for Business Students (eg at Elgar Library), Master Builders AR (eg at Nelson, Engineering) etc

There should also perhaps be a Research Guide dealing with Annual Reports Web Information and other sources.

What do you guys think???

Best of all - most annual reports are free !!!!

By Plato, Virgil, Caesar, Aristotle,
the apostles......Imagine the monks first discovery of new parchment books in ancient libraries. The site below conveys some of the background of ancient libraries.
