Case 4: Bioterrorism -- Community Preparedness (Page 45 of 49)
Phase Two: Finding the Information

Q20. Where would you go to get high-quality books on this topic?

When thinking about locating books for requestors, check your own resources first while considering who the key publishers might be.

  • Which governmental and non-governmental sources might you start with?
  • Are associations or foundations a source of books on the topic of bioterrorism and community preparedness?
  • Do any "think tanks" have an interest in publishing books of use to emergency responders, the medical profession, public health or the community?
  • What about independent publishers? Can you think of any publishers that might publish books on bioterrorism and/or community preparedness.
  • Does NLM have any resources that might help you get started in your search for quality books on the topic?
  • Is it worth using an online search engine such as google to find published books?
