The Responsibility of the Library to the Faculty

摘要

F OR most subjects with which one has a daily superficial contact, one is impressed by his knowledge of said subjects. I am certain that many of the faculty will have an inadequate conception of the medical library until, by force of circumstances, they are required to do a little reading on medical libraries. Not until he is required to set forth such information into transmissible, factual material does he become aware of his abyssmal ignorance and rushes to the locus of the subject on which he is to dissertate-the library-to obtain the knowledge he thought already in his possession.
