The National Library of Medicine

On October 1, 1956, the Armed Forces Medical Library was transferred to the Public Health Service and is now operating as the National Library of Medicine. An Act of Congress on August 3, 1956, places the Library under the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service. The National Library of Medicine involves the largest collection of medical literature in the western hemisphere and one of the largest research libraries in any field of special interest. The library publishes the most extensive periodical index in existence today, the Current List of Medical Literature. A new publication, Bibliography of Medical Reviews, was begun in 1955 and contains citations for the review literature of medicine which appears during the current year. Congress has authorized the construction of a new building on a site to be selected by the Surgeon General, and funds for the architect's plans have been appropriated.
