Mahaffey works in Eastman Chemical Company's labs in Kingsport, Tennessee, is a member of the Board of Directors for the LIMS Institute, and is the current Conference Chairman for the upcoming Tenth International LIMS Conference to be held in June 1996 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. For those considering a LIMS investment, Mahaffey's book provides a survey of concepts, systems and application methods describing some of the fundamental concepts of laboratory information management. Topics such as "The validation of computer systems" and "Getting the most out of your LIMS" offer insight into the complex task of integrating a LIMS into the laboratory. "LIMS is the avenue to the future," states Mahaffey, "but by understanding where we've been and where we are now, the future becomes much closer."
