The pursuit of excellence.

An attempt is made to define excellence and then to apply that definition to some of the problems facing medical librarianship today.

Libraries, Medical↗

The delivery of medical information in the 1970s.

Some of the effects of changes in medicine and in economic situations in general on the provision of medical information are discussed. These effects are correlated with conflicts between the demands of different classes of users of this information and with levels of service due to changes in the characteristics of people entering the field of medical librarianship.

Economics↗

Medical libraries around the world.

A discussion is given of the buildings and equipment, staffs, and services of a number of medical libraries around the world, with special emphasis on American, European, and Asiatic medical libraries. Differences are explained on the basis of the traditions of the different countries, and the essential similarities pointed out.

Asia↗

Mechanization of library procedures in the medium-sized medical library. 8. Suspension of computer atalog.

A system for the substitution of a computer-printed book catalog for a card catalog was put to the test by making the former the sole means of locating material in the library, after four years of being used merely as an adjunct to the card catalog. It was found not suitable, and a new system is being devised in the light of the difficulties encountered. The reasons why the system broke down and the plans for the new one are described.

Catalogs, Library↗

A philosophy of continuing education.

Continuing education is important to the individual, to the library, and to society as a whole, and therefore each should attempt to foster continued learning and the questioning mind. Today, librarians are seeking "philosophies" for what they do because the changes in the world about them have denied them the comfort of the implicit assumptions about their work which librarians of earlier periods had. The professional association, like the medieval guilds, has a responsibility to its members to aid in their search for reality ("philosophy") and specifically in their need for continuing education.
