Abstract

This review looks at a book which incorporates the results of a survey of health librarians in the USA. This is, overall, an excellent introduction to health sciences librarianship, whether you want introductory books to read, insights into the technical resources used regularly, case studies, or nuggets of advice on a range of topics. It would be a good choice for those not sure if health library work is for them - or to remind those of us who are "accidental health sciences librarians" how we ended up here in the first place.
