Twenty-Five for Twenty-Five: European Content from the Health Information & Libraries Journal

As the leading European peer-reviewed journal for health information and libraries, the Health Information & Libraries Journal is delighted to be able to join the European Association of Health Information and Libraries in celebrating its 25^th anniversary.

Health Information & Libraries Journal (HILJ) has been publishing papers from across Europe since it was first published under the title of Health Libraries Review in 1984.  We are therefore delighted for this opportunity to share with you a selected collection of 25 papers, representing the breadth of European writing published within HILJ, to mark this special occasion.
