Field Trip Anyone?
I met my old friend Deborah Brackstone, the Document Delivery Biomedical Librarian at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. She has invited me to bring 5 guests and visit her state-of-the-art research facility. Deborah's facility is typical of a contemporary technopolis such as St. Jude's where no money is spared to do research the right way. Her job is to supply scientists with the documents in any medium which they may need to be on top of the data flow required to conduct their research.
I f any students would be interested in making a visit, please contact Dr. Easson as soon as possible.
