As the world becomes  increasingly dominated by information and its technology, in all its  facets, librarians must learn to integrate all the new developments  into daily practice.\u003cbr\u003e  'It is to the extent to which we shall succeed in developing powerful  information networks through efficient information transfer that we  shall succeed in contributing to the betterment of health throughout  our nations'. It is this challenge which medical librarians from some  34 countries set for themselves in convening the Third European  Conference of Medical Libraries in Montpellier, France, in September  1992. All aspects of medical information were addressed - the  technical aspects of transfer, ethical and legal issues, costs,  benefits, rights and responsibilities, quality assurance, guidance  systems, communications technology, education and training both of  information professionals and end-users were discussed and debated in  depth in Montpellier. This volume presents an accurate account of a  conference which has made a significant contribution to the  development of medical librarianship in Europe and the wider  world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401047296\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1668-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 439\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541818994828,"sku":"9789401047296","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401047296.jpg?v=1771530990","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401047296","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
