Medical library education in China.

This paper describes the establishment of faculties of medical library and information science in four of the national medical universities in the People's Republic of China. These faculties were established in the mid-1980s, and each is fully integrated into its university. Students receive three years of non-clinical medical training followed by two years of training in library and information science. The first students to follow this five-year curriculum will graduate in 1992.

Report of a cooperative venture between the China Medical University library and the medical library of McGill University.

In March/April 1986, the medical library at McGill University in Montreal, Canada signed a cooperative agreement with the China Medical University (CMU) Library in Shenyang, China. This paper analyzes the operations of the CMU library within the context of the Chinese system of medical education, health care delivery, and medical librarianship. The CMU library is described in terms of collections, cataloging procedures, filing, public services (reference, bibliographic instruction, circulation, copy service), interlibrary loans, networking, conservation of materials, and personnel. Some interesting comparisons are made between the two libraries with respect to holdings, services provided, and training of staff. The plans for future cooperation are outlined.
