THE DENTAL LIBRARY AND THE FACULTY

摘要

A well-stocked and properly administered library makes it possible to profit from recorded investigations of other men. In the early days of dentistry, progress was slow. New developments were revealed only to those who paid for the privilege of learning through one of the apprentice or fee systems. Now, numerous books and periodicals continually disseminate the changes and advances in dentistry to anyone who takes the time and effort to read. Unfortunately, dental faculties, students, and dentists are frequently unaware of the existence of many of our finest publications and often do not utilize those which they do know.
