N2  - A wide-ranging analysis of the types of biomedical information available in Europe, the systems used for its storage and retrieval, and the accessibility of these systems to various groups of health professionals. Since much of the current information explosion can be attributed to the professional pressures faced by scientists and physicians the author concentrates on the extent to which available medical and scientific information is meeting the needs of primary health care workers, nurses, health managers, and planners. The most extensive part of the book assesses information sources and needs in nine European countries. Each country profile includes data on national library systems, the number of libraries and size of collections, languages, availability and use of libraries and automated information systems, and the existence of lending libraries or other national sources of publications and documents
