Building a National Medical Library on a Shoestring: JSB Bibliography (2011)

Contenuto

THE MEDICAL LIBRARIAN AND BIBLIOGRAPHER The gravitation of John Billings to books was as inevitable and as certain as any law of nature. It was equally certain that, given access to books, he would know their contents, use them, and introduce others to their solace and help. Detailed to the Surgeon General's Office and finding no library, he made one. That he and no one else was founder of the national medical library needs no discussion after reading the following letter, printed in The Medical Record. 2 Washington, February 3, 1880

Building a National Medical Library on a Shoestring: JSB Bibliography (2011)
Descrizione
La bibliografia degli scritti e dei discorsi di John Shaw Billings documenta le sue "molte vite" - medico chirurgo, statistico, bibliotecario, igienista, educatore - e le opere per le quali sarà per sempre ricordato. In particolare per aver creato la National Library of Medicine e contestualmente creato l'Index Medicus, come sviluppo del Catalogo, antesignano del sistema MEDLARS e dell'attuale PubMed.
