Title: The Medical Library as an Active Information Center, 1965
Occasion: Presented at the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Houston Academy of Medicine, Houston, Tx.
MMC Commentary: This speech describes how libraries may serve as active information centers. The development of the national network of libraries would provide an efficient mechanism through which users could obtain information relating to their needs. Computers could communicate with other computers in a new high-speed system of communication. This speech includes a favorite of mine: "Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge" = BOOK.
