• Since 2004, with the launch of the first MKNs and
  Specialist e-Libraries for cancer, coronary heart
  disease and mental health we have been refining
  our interpretation of MKNs and improving the
  support we offer. As a logical extension of the
  personalization services ... We recognized the
  need to provide tools to enable access to the
  personal, tacit knowledge of individuals.
