摘要：It is difficult to imagine how it would be possible for an individual or a group to carry on the preliminaries necessary to an adequate medical research program without making use of the facilities of the medical library. After a library's own resources have been exhausted, moreover, its personnel spares no effort to obtain, on interlibrary loan, necessary material of which it is not possessed. If a library lacks relevant printed matter, in other words, librarians still strive to make it available. With few exceptions, however, when grants have been in the offing medical libraries never have shared in them even though the grants were to be made to institutions of which libraries are integral parts.
