Abstract

At the Hospital of Saint Raphael in New Haven, CT, the system for identifying and delivering items requested in between regular deliveries to patient care units was not efficient. The Materials Services Center (MSC) staff was frustrated at having to second-guess the needs of the medical floors, and the nursing staff was irate over the number of errors in the supplies they received. In addition, floors were borrowing supplies from each other, and the charges were being lost in the shuffle. The Materials Services Department solved the problem by developing a catalog and order transaction forms that matched requests with standard item numbers and descriptions. Customer satisfaction is way up and lost charges are way down as a result.

[Galenus Latinus, 1490-1533].

This article provides an examination of the Latin complete editions of Galen, from 1490 to 1528, which are not all pointed out and described by Richard Durling in his census published in 1961, in the Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes. They present the first large circulation of Galen in the Renassaince, which was in Latin, not in Greek, as well as the constitution of the Galenic corpus. At first it was formed by Medieval translations. The humanistic translations, often of the same known texts, were printed from the edition by Pietro Antonio Rustico in 1515-16; they occupy a separate volume in both the editions of 1528, and the two supplementary volumes of the Giuntine of 1528, printed in 1531 and 1533.

[The library of the Society of the Dutch Journal of Medicine].

This year the library of the Vereniging Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde (Society of the Dutch Journal of Medicine) has reached the age of go. The idea was born in 1900 when the editor-in-chief M.Straub proposed starting a library for the Journal. This was rejected by the members of the Society, but fourteen years later, in 1914, when the new editor-in-chief G.A. van Rijnberk made a similar proposal, it was accepted. His long-term as editor (1913-1946) would prove to be a guarantee for the acquisition of a large collection of books, both antique and contemporary. The collection reflects the history of medicine, notably in The Netherlands, but also in a wider sense. Over the years, several catalogues of the collection have been published, and this year has seen the completion of an electronic catalogue which is available on the Internet (www.ntvg.nl). The acquisition and restoration of books have been re-started in the past five years and a fellowship for the study of the existing collection of books has been instituted.
