• Better information retrieval. A New York surgeon contacted a medical library
when a sick woman lapsed into a hepatic coma. He needed immediate information on
exchange blood transfusions for the woman. Using a computer terminal and a retrieval
programme, the librarian searched more than a half-million medical documents in a few
minutes to get the information the surgeon needed to perform an emergency blood
transfusion. The patient recovered fully from the hepatitis. Most information retrieval
tasks obviously don’t involve life-or-death decision, but quick computer-assisted retrieval
saves time for many people.
