摘要:In September some 75 or 80 medical librarians attending the meeting of IFLA and FID in Brussels voted to form an international medical library association and asked the steering committee, which had been appointed in London in 1953 to arrange for a Second International Congress on Medical Librarianship, to bring the new organization into being. As members of the older international Medical Library Association, we welcome the new group and wish it luck. Many of us will be taking part in deliberations of both organizations, in all probability, and we look forward to making and carrying on the pleasant personal relationships started in London in 1953.
