We are pleased to announce the winning entry of the FOLIO End of Year
Competition. If you remember the task was to come up with a slogan for one
of the increasing number of NLH Specialist Libraries. The Winner (with a
little help from Oscar Wilde) was Toni Price from NICE (it rhymes!):
Ms Toni Price
Information Specialist
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence
Peter House
Oxford Street
Manchester
M1 5AN

Toni's offering was:
Clinical Genetics - "Nothing to declare but our Genes"

Toni will receive a £ 20 book token shortly. Congratulations to Toni and to
all our entrants.

Honourable mentions (but unfortunately no prizes :-( ) go to the following
entries:

Vicky Robertson with Respiratory - "A breath of fresh air"
Outi Pickering with Patient & Public Involvement - "Many happy returns!"
Heather Lodge with Musculoskeletal - "Head, neck and shoulders above the
rest."

While the best I could manage myself was:
Eyes and Vision - "A Site for Sore Eyes" 

Best wishes to all FOLIO participants and Ex-Foliates for the coming year.

Andrew Booth and the FOLIO team.
