Silent Revolution in the Library: Electronic Media Replace Printed Products. Official Pharmacopoeias: An Example from the Boehringer Mannheim Central Library.

Gretz, Marianne; And Others

Electronic Library, v14 n5 p429-34 Oct 1996

The Boehringer Mannheim Library (Germany) switched its loose-leaf pharmacopoeias from printed versions to electronic media. Discusses the decision-making and implementation process, and considers costs, technical requirements, availability of databases, user acceptance, installation, maintenance, and skills needed. Found that electronic media would improve library services and information flow within the company at reduced costs. (LAM)
