- Title
Memorial issue in honour of Leslie T. Morton 1907–2004.
- Authors
Carmel, Michael; Osborn, Richard M.
- Abstract
The article introduces the special issue of "Health Information and Libraries Journal," which has been published to honour the life and work of Leslie T. Morton, a distinguished medical librarian and scholarly writer on medical librarianship, bibliography and history. This is the second special issue of the journal to be produced to celebrate his outstanding career. In September 1987, "Health Libraries Review" published a special issue to celebrate his 80th birthday. This issue contains a review of his final book and a short communication on Isidor Fischer's "Geographical Names in Medical Terminology," a project close to Morton's heart and which John Symons is now to continue. The issue tried to capture some of the key themes which permeated Morton's long and illustrious career. These include bibliography and the development of electronic bibliographical tools; the importance of user education; the development of the medical library profession and the sharing of good practice; and the building and fostering of international partnerships.
