The Chandos’ book series is designed to help the overworked librarian with practical advice using extensive case studies. The book begins with defining “informationist” and outlining the transformation from a traditional reference librarian to an informationist. The theme of the book deals with filling “information” gaps and each chapter focuses on different types of services that can help fill information gaps at a variety of health institutions.
