Mental Health Information Access? Yes, But Not in My Neighborhood.

Jackson, Meliza

Catholic Library World, v56 n7 p287-90 Feb 1985

Their information needs have implications for academic and public libraries and libraries in psychiatric facilities and general hospitals. (14 references) (Author/EJS)
