摘要：IN defining the scope of my remarks on space management and layout, I would like to note the following four basic limitations: (1) I am discussing a medical library not separately housed. The majority of our medical school libraries are presently situated in research buildings, hospitals, or classroom and laboratory structures. It is decidedly easier to design a separate library building. However, many of my comments pertaining to libraries within an existing or planned new research building are also pertinent to the separately housed library and even to those libraries that are to be expanded or refurbished.
