Medical Librarians as a Valuable Resource for Disease and Treatment Research
When conducting disease and treatment research, another valuable source of information are the medical librarians who work in university, corporate, and medical center libraries, government agencies, and research centers and foundations. Medical librarians are experts on finding and validating clinical information. They can help save innovators significant time in identifying and summarizing disease state and treatment information, and also can help ensure that the most complete and up-to-date sources are used. Many thanks to Alexander Feng, senior information specialist at Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, who submitted this suggestion. Feng is secretary of the Pharmaceutical & Health Technology Division of the Special Libraries Association.
