1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, March 9, 2005

This review is from: Laboratory Information Management Systems Revised & Expanded (Hardcover)

There are better descriptions of Laboratory Information Management for free in a trade magazines and white papers on any vendor site. Most of the book consists of definitions. The first chapter, titled, "Historical Perspective," should be about the early development of LIMS; surprise it is a list of historic events in the evolution of computers

The chapter on LIMS evaluations has a section that is two sentences long on the topic of Hardware/Software Configurations. It informs the reader that the vendor should inform you as to whether the software will run on your computer. Duh! The next section on Database Management tops this in that it is a whole sentence long. I can only wonder what the first edition of this book was like, since this is the expanded version. This is more like an outline for a book that should be written, or a student term paper that was written the night before it was due.

I am now totally annoyed that I have to spend by lunch hour going to the post to return this book.

This is an index to the book that SHOULD have been written. This is a good overview, but does not provide examples, walk-throughs or details.

The book does not include a walk-through and a specific guide. It's a good book nonetheless
