Abstract
This article reports the findings of the South West Thames Regional Health Authority's Community Health Information Project. The enquiries received from general practitioners and other community health‐care staff at the postgraduate medical centre libraries in the South West Thames Regional Health Authority were surveyed. A similar survey was carried out at the library of the Royal College of General Practitioners. The results from a detailed analysis of these enquiries are given. The main conclusions of the survey are: (i) the important role vocational training activities play in the information needs of general practitioners; (ii) the vast width and depth of users' enquiries; (iii) the flexibility of approach required by librarians to meet the wide‐ranging needs of community health‐care staff and (iv) the identification of type A and type B libraries, which lie at the two ends of a continuum of provision.
