Managing Knowledge in Health Services

 

This book edited by Andrew Booth & Graham Walton was published by Library Association Publishing (now Facet Publishing) in 2000. It is now out of print and, with permission from the publishers, the editors are pleased to offer the entire work as open access. Much of the content is not time sensitive and it still provides a useful conspectus of health information and library services in the early 21st Century. A companion volume Exploiting Knowledge in Health Services was edited by Graham Walton & Andrew Booth in 2004 and published by Facet Publishing.
