FOREWORD
Itisapleasuretobeaskedtosayafewwordsaboutthisimportantnewpublication.
I have great respect for the two editors and have been involved with them in other
arenas. Jeff Huber and I have been most closely associated with Introduction to
Reference Sources in the Health Sciences. Feili Tu-Keefner was the last person
I employed while Dean of the School of Library and Information Science at the
University of South Carolina. My valued colleagues, Jeff and Feili, are among the
smallnumberoffull-timefacultymembersinvolvedwiththeteachingofhealthsci-
ences librarianship; their experience in education for the health sciences librarian
eminently qualifies them to prepare this publication. That experience is comple-
mented by the distinguished group of professionals who have made contributions
to thebook.
This textbook should be a great boon to the whole area of education for health
sciences librarianship. Although it is certainly prepared with the library and infor-
mation science student in mind, it will be important for the entire continuum of
learning—from the introduction to health sciences librarianship, to preparation for
the Academy of Health Information Professionals, to continuing education for
practitioners, to career changes as those may occur, and to the need for refreshing
and reviewing.
It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention, and this has been the
case with more than one textbook/manual in library and information science.
