摘要：The big cataloging problem in all libraries, including medical libraries, is that of properly organizing-for-use the ever increasing production of print, nearprint, and print-substitute materials. Means are needed which will eliminate the endless duplication of cataloging efforts, which will protect the time and energy of medical library personnel for public service, and which will make possible a more adequate return on library investments in personnel and time, both of which have a money value.
