• Pr. Christine Urquhart wrote: 鈥淚 loved the format and was delighted to read some of the case stories around events when doctors or nurses wanted to check the latest evidence to confirm or possibly amend their proposed treatment plan (鈥�); such checking might not be so glamorous as saving mega-bucks but it's still so important for patient safety and good professional practice to check and update knowledge鈥�. Pr. Urquhart is聽Emeritus Lecturer at the Department of Information Studies (Aberystwyth University, UK), and authored聽an inspiring series of articles entitled 鈥楻eflections on the value and impact of library and information services鈥�.
