It highlights the importance of health sciences librarians in light of librarians’ roles in Hurricane Katrina and the Ellen Roche case, a volunteer in an asthma study who died after inhaling hexamethonium, a chemical that, if the researchers had gone back into the literature in the 1950s, would have been found to be dangerous
