PY - 2022 T2 - Drug Information: A Guide for Pharmacists, 7e AB - Twenty-five years ago, drug information was in a very different place. Most drug information references were paper, communication was orally or via memos/letters (email was rarely available), the first web browser (Mosaic) was new, the number of medically related websites could be counted on one hand and most health care professionals had not seen any of them, and the only book on the practice of drug information was about 15 years old and had not been comprehensive when it was new. Even so, it was obvious that drug information was important and likely to become more so. It was with the hope of having a tool to use by both practitioners and students to learn the skills necessary to find and use drug information that this book was being developed. Over the years since, the tools available to practitioners, skills necessary, and functions performed in the field of drug information have rapidly evolved, resulting in a much longer and comprehensive book than was first even imagined.
