Whereas at the end of the 1980s some US authors argued that POM teaching suffered from a positioning problem, our results indicate that there now appears to be more agreement on what constitutes POM. We also compare our results with the situation in Europe and show that there are many similarities but also some striking differences| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
