摘要：THE Lyman Maynard Stowe Library at the University of Connecticut Health Center was founded in 1964 and moved to its present location in Farmington, Connecticut in 1974. The library serves the schools of medicine and dentistry directly and is the primary resource for the schools of nursing, pharmacy, and allied health, located forty miles away at the main campus in Storrs. In addition, the library serves, along with the Yale Medical Library, as a resource library for the state of Connecticut; it is therefore committed to serving health professionals throughout the state, mainly through their hospital libraries. The current journals and backfiles originally selected during the library's infancy were of a high quality and served user needs more than adequately. Circulation statistics indicated that basic science materials received more use than clinical materials. More recently, especially after the Dempsey Hospital opened on campus in January 1975, circulation statistics indicate a greater emphasis on the use of clinical materials.
