For library school students interested in this branch of the profession, this is definitely a good book. It covers the background and philosophies as well as the technical and public services aspects. It also covers administration and management for health science librarians. For practicing librarians working in this area who need a "refresher," the book works out as well. For me, more of a generalist, the book provided with a good overview of what a health sciences librarian does and what are some of their tasks and the resources they use. A good chapter on Evidence Based Practice is included, and I was interested on this given that there is much emphasis on this for our nursing students here.
