摘要：In service training may take any of several forms. For the trained librarian who is in charge of a hospital medical library as for all medical librarians, it will probably be chiefly concerned with keeping informed concerning the ever broadening field of medicine and surgery. The hospital medical librarian is particularly fortunate in having various means of increasing her knowledge of the subject matter within these fields. The books, journals, and indices in her collection are helpful to her in this connection but these may and should be supplemented by other approaches to the subject; by attendance at hospital staff meetings, observation of surgical operations, post-mortems, and the audition of pathological conferences. Motion pictures presenting medical and surgical subjects are helpful. She is fortunate indeed in having all of these avenues available to her and should have no hesitation in making use of them. Recognizing the advantage of these opportunities to her, the administrator and members of the professional staff, should let it be known that she is welcome and, indeed, expected at these meetings whenever it is possible for her to attend. Such understanding cooperation will put her on the alert and also go far to increase her store of knowledge and her skill in searching out desired material for her clientele.
