Scholars and practitioners of library and information science in the health industry--mostly British but also North American and continental European--examine different contextual factors that may affect how professionals in the field might work, and showcase a range of roles and the skills needed to perform them now and in the future. Among the topics are changes in information generation and use, changing technology to meet clinicians' information needs, the librarian as information provider and educator, the librarian who analyzes information and manages knowledge, and the librarian as decision maker.
