摘要：TO PRESENT the 1950 Author Catalog in proper perspective, a brief review of our work during the past four years is in order. From the time the Catalog Division began its regular operations, 1 October 1945, we have recognized a two-fold responsibility in the discharge of our official duties: 1) to catalog for Army Medical Library needs and 2) to make the results of our work as widely useful as possible. It has sometimes been difficult to carry this double responsibility. However, the effort to do so has proved to be a healthy stimulus, if not always the most comfortable one to live with. Procedure changes, required to make our work useful outside the Army Medical Library, often have been declared surplus by our staff members, who have suffered enough procedure changes due to organizational developments within the Library.
