Health sciences librarianship in the new millennium.

Is the millennium really a critical point in time or just part of a continuum, in which health sciences librarians have always been innovators?

They have always embraced new technology, from the printing press to the Internet. As a profession, we must continue to promote how our particular skills can reinforce our role in the health care field.
