摘要：A LIBRARY in a College of Medicine makes basic and fundamental contributions to the teaching and research programs of the institution. The training of students for the M.D. degree, of graduate students for the Ph.D. degree, and of both M.D. and Ph.D. trainees in postgraduate education are fundamentally dependent upon adequate library facilities. In addition, a library must be adequate and is basic for the research programs conducted in a college of medicine. The fact that approval of colleges of medicine by the Association of American Medical Colleges and by the American Medical Association includes, as a condition, the provision of evidence of adequate library facilities is added testimony of the fundamental role of a library in a college of medicine.
