Changes & the Challenge of Keeping Informed*
• There are now approx. 18,000 biomedical journals
• By 1984 it was estimated that 7,000 scientific articles were published daily...all providing new information
• Without proper informatics & critical reading skills, this information simply can not be accessed or understood
