National Poisons Information Service: Poisons Unit library provision

Abstract

The Poisons Unit Library serves the Unit staff, which consists of a medical, scientific and information work force concerned with the diagnosis, management and prevention of poisoning. Over the last few years its function has extended to the provision of facilities for the staff and medical students of New Cross Hospital. This diversification has precipitated the acquisition of books and journals from a wider range of subjects, but the stock is still biased towards toxicology and pharmacology. The library staff consists, at the moment, of one qualified librarian.
