Abstract

ENABLE is a very powerful package that provides word‐processing, spread‐sheet, telecommunications, graphics and database modules. The individual modules rival the performance of many single‐function packages. In addition, Enable provides features such as windowing and menu customization that make unique use of integrated package possibilities. Enable runs on IBM/PC/AT computers and sells for $695 from The Software Group, Northway Ten Executive Park, Ballston Lake, NY 12019, USA.(800) 634‐3470.

Abstract

Purpose

This case study describes the assignment of an academic health sciences librarian to another academic unit for a period of two years. This arrangement enabled the librarian to focus on work with an interdisciplinary team to assess the information needs and uses of public health workers in Washington State and to develop online resources to address those needs.

Design/methodology/approach

The assessment process employed semi‐structured discussions and interviews with segments of the workforce. “Information toolkits” – practitioner‐oriented and highly focused web pages that provided an overview of select notifiable diseases – were developed based on what was learned from the assessment.

Findings

This experience would not have been possible within the normal work environment and provided the librarian with knowledge, contacts, and opportunities not available otherwise.

Originality/value

An outcome of the assignment was increased knowledge of public health information needs among the community of health sciences librarians.
