Library services for primary health care
The paper highlights the grossly inadequate provision of library and literature information services for health care staff in the developing countries. It identifies the different types of information needs (current awareness, clinical inquiries) and makes suggestions how these could be met by simple and inexpensive means. The various administrative, organizational and financial problems that may have to be overcome are discussed. Hope is expressed that at medium or longer term more sophisticated services will become feasible through the application of information technologies.
