AHIP, FMLA, president of the Medical Library Association from 2006– 2007. It contains 4 appendixes consisting of an online survey questionnaire used to develop the book’s content, a summary of selected survey responses, a handy listing of major health sciences library associations and organizations, and a recommended reading list
Ennis and Mitchell successfully deliver. On the latter point, because each chapter is interspersed with multiple anecdotes from survey respondents, the flow and ease of readability are affected. These stories provide an insightful glimpse into the real-life experiences of health sciences librarianship, it may have been more appropriate to develop a separate chapter or appendix containing all of the anecdotal data
