Symposium on Postwar Advances in Dental Documentation Utilizing Dental Knowledge: Library Manuals, Selected Lists of Periodicals and Books, Audio-visual Aids

摘要

TIHE preceding papers dealt with the recording, storing and the retrieving of dental knowledge, leaving the most controversial part on the utilization still to be discussed. It should be considered that any approach to a discussion on the services of a dental library depends a great deal on the position of the library in the dental school and the personality, aims and ideas of the individual librarian. However well a library has been cataloged and processed, if the material on the shelves remains untouched, it will represent an impressive but dead lot.
