Title:

Chaos Among the Stacks

Creator:

DeBakey, Michael E. (Michael Ellis), 1908-2008

Date:

26 April 1963

Description:

DeBakey had become a staunch and influential advocate for medical libraries through his involvement in the deliberations that transferred the Army Medical Library to the National Institutes of Health as the National Library of Medicine. In this editorial, he noted that, while the NLM had been saved from "chaos among the stacks," most other American medical libraries were in terrible condition, and could not adequately serve physicians and medical researchers if the situation was not remedied.
