In 1966, the Indiana University School of Medicine Library became part of a statewide teletype network. Biomedical personnel throughout Indiana may use the resources of the Library by requesting either specific books and articles or bibliographic searches through local public libraries which relay the requests to the School of Medicine Library. All transactions except reference questions receive twenty-four-hour service. The popularity of such a facility is indicated by the fact that 472 identified borrowers used it during the twenty-five months between its inception and December 31, 1968. Over half of the borrowers have used it repeatedly, and as many as 358 transactions have occurred in a single month. The largest group of borrowers consists of practicing physicians. It is felt that the enthusiastic response to the service justifies its continuation and expansion.

Figures relating to the document delivery service of NERMLS are given. NERMLS has collaborated with the Postgraduate. Medical Institute in Boston to improve standards in community hospital libraries by creating a core library of books and journals and training library supervisors to work in these libraries. Institutes have taken place in the Countway Library, and guidelines for library development in community hospitals have been drawn up. Activities of Regional Medical Programs in New England are discussed, and further plans of NERMLS described.
The Health Sciences Resource Centre forms part of the National Science Library of Canada, whose collections and services are described. The new Centre coordinates activities of the various provincial medical libraries. Its creation began with increased collections of medical journals, and plans are underway to print out a union list of medical journals from the Union List of Scientific Serials tapes. The first product of the Centre is a medical "proceedings index" to proceedings held by the National Science Library; this is computer-produced, and will appear annually. An analysis was made of the medical items requested for borrowing from the National Science Library according to type of material, service provided, type of user, and geographical location. The results are given.A description is given of the SDI service currently provided by the National Science Library, based on Chemical Titles, Chemical Abstracts Condensates, INSPEC, and the ISI tapes. It is hoped to expand this data base with MEDLARS tapes.

The evaluation strategy of a medical library program within an Area Health Education Center is described. One of about thirty programs in the AHEC project, this library program was singled out as the first to be evaluated both because it was considered a key part of the total program and because a fair amount of quantitative data were available for measurement. Eleven hospitals of the thirty-nine in the area were selected for the study. Two specific and measurable objectives, the evaluation method, instruments, and results are presented. Finally, several important issues raised in conjunction with the evaluation are discussed in terms of the implications of evaluation and policy making.

The design and development of the OCTANET system for networking among medical libraries in the midcontinental region is described. This system's features and configuration may be attributed, at least in part, to normal evolution of technology in library networking, remote access to computers, and development of machine-readable data bases. Current functions and services of the system are outlined and implications for future developments in computer-based networking are discussed.
