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.
