The slogan Information professionals make the difference' was
chosen to highlight the 10th anniversary of the European
Association for Health Information and Libraries (EAHIL) in 1997.
To what effect, under which circumstances, and how medical
librarians in Europe play an active role in medical information
management and education is reflected in the collection of papers
presented during the 6th European Conference of Medical and Health
Libraries in Utrecht, The Netherlands, 22-27 June, 1998, entitled:
Libraries without Limits: Changing Needs - Changing Roles. Medical
libraries are confronted with the international aspects of
copyright and licence agreements, and cope with a fast-growing
demand for high quality medical information in order to bring
evidence-based medicine into practice. Medical librarians also
serve the public, especially in those countries where consumer
health information is in the forefront of health care policy. The
importance of pharmaceutical information is well understood; the
need for information transfer from (basic) research into (clinical)
practice is not restricted to medicine, but is nonetheless
important in veterinary sciences. In all fields in which members of
EAHIL are working the commercial interest and political value of
information is recognized. With the exponential growth of medical,
health and health-care related information available or accessible
on the Internet, librarians play a crucial role in information
dissemination. Information services, especially in medicine, are no
longer local activities, but are knitted into the global web. The
Minister of Health, Welfare and Sports of The Netherlands, Mrs Els
Borst-Eilers, gives many arguments why doctors need to be better
informed. The papers of Lois Ann Colaianni (USA), Derek Law (UK),
Charles Oppenheim (UK), Bas Savenije (NL) and many others will
prove to the reader that the library provides a perfect paradigm
for the management of networked resources.
