RESUMO
Philadelphia medical libraries embrace the past, the present, and the future. Typifying the expansion in medical communications, area libraries cover the broad spectrum of medical and paramedical fields. Serving workers in these fields are the College of Physicians Library, the five medical school libraries, and a host of hospital and special libraries. Many of these libraries date from the early years of this country. Pharmaceutical firms and governmental institutions in the city, as well as medical libraries in neighboring states, contribute to the area's rich resources. The cooperative efforts and outlook of all these libraries are reflected in the strength of the Regional Group of the Medical Library Association and the plans being made for the future of medical libraries in the Philadelphia area.
