New roles and new challenges
chapter
posted on 2008-06-30, 11:52 authored by Andrew Booth, Graham WaltonThe health sector never remains static. New drugs are developed, new illnesses appear
and governments tinker with health service delivery to meet their political agendas. The
information needs of health consumers, health professionals and health students evolve
and modify. As some library and information services no longer meet users’ needs new
services appear to meet emerging new demands. This chapter revisits those areas (health
service, technologies, user needs, information provider roles and consumer requirements)
explored in a corresponding chapter in this book’s companion volume (Booth and
Walton, 2000) and proposes how these may develop. The chapter concludes with a
prospective glance at the likely impact of evidence based information practice on the
domains covered by this book.
