Abstract
I feel very privileged to have been asked to deliver this lecture in honour of Roy Tabor. As a layman breaking into the world of the healthcare librarian it has been striking how often I have come across his work. He is certainly one of the leading characters in the folklore of the subject. A man of vision, he has often bee responsible for lines of thinking well ahead of his time, and has opened up for debate many lines of questioning and potential developments.
