Reviews for Practical Knowledge and Information Management

'The style is authoritative and accessible, with the authors' own expertise evident with the vignettes of real-life examples of the issues raised, both as positive examples and also of things going wrong. The anonymised case studies are highlighted in stand-out text boxes, giving a brief overview of the topic and contextual information to bring it to life.'- Emily Hopkins, Knowledge Management Programme Manager Health Education England, CILIP Health Libraries Group newsletter * CILIP Health Libraries Group newsletter *
