REPRESENTATION AT A. D. A. HEADQUARTERS OF DENTAL SCHOOL AND SOCIETY LIBRARIES

THE idea of having a central office where all dental library problems can be settled and through which any special journal exchange can be carried on, developed from my need, at various times, of having some definite office of which I could ask special questions. Frequently the onlyr wvay to obtain the needed information would be through a questionnaire to the libraries-a long, tedious, and, sometimes, inadequate method. If there were an office where information of interest to the libraries could be filed, it wvould certainly fill our need of a clearing house for our common problems. Some of the things that might be accomplished by such an office are: I. Furnish information to the libraries; 2. Make the dental profession library- conscious; 3. Furnish information on library technique, etc., to dental societies and individuals who require it. In other words, the office would be the hub of the dental library w.heel.
