With apologies for cross-posting:
Today sees the publication of a special commemorative issue of Health
Information and Libraries Journal in honour of the renowned medical librarian
Leslie T Morton who sadly died in February 2004. The issue is edited by Michael
Carmel and Richard Osborn who both knew Leslie personally and have produced a
fitting tribute to a man who was not only an exemplary medical librarian but an
important ambassador for the library and information profession as a whole.
Leslie Morton was still working at the time of his death and the commemorative
issue includes a review of his final publication "A Bibliography of Medical and
Biomedical Biography (3rd ed)" which he produced with long-time collaborator
Robert J Moore.
The commemorative issue also includes a bibliography of Leslie's work, personal
reminiscences and eight original articles on topics ranging from the
globalization of health librarianship to the benefits of user education, plus a
report on the Leslie Morton Memorial Conference which took place in February
this year.
To purchase a copy of this issue, please contact Blackwell’s Customer Services

Best Wishes,
