摘要:M EDICAL libraries in the United States and in Great Britain have been successfully carrying out for many years now a number of cooperative activities with obvious benefits to the participating libraries and to librarianship generally. An Australian experiment in medical library cooperation has recently been inaugurated in Melbourne, capital city of the state of Victoria, and it is felt that a description of its operation may be of interest to American and British librarians. An appraisal of the scheme has previously appeared (1), but it is felt that it is not readily available to readers outside Australia.
