Medical Librarianship in Nigeria--a review of the literature and comments on some problems and prospects.

The literature of medical librarianship of Nigeria is reviewed. The staff structure of Nigerian univeristy libraries and, in particular, of the medical libraries attached to them is restrictive, unprogressive, and unconducive to the development of medical librarianship in Nigeria. These medical libraries should cease to be administered and regarded as just unavoidable appendages of the main university libraries. They should be independent, full-fledged libraries of their own, recognixed as full academic departments of their respective colleges or faculties, with their heads being in no way inferior in status to other heads of academic departments.The granting of faculty status to Nigerian unviersity librarians should go the whole way and let the principle of multiple professorships be applied to the staff structure of unviersity libraries. Efforts are being made to effect bibliographic organization of Nigerian medical literature. A national library of medicine for Nigeria, however, humble its beginning, should be established.     

A description of the catalog division project at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia Library.

This paper describes the procedures used at the Library of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia to divide its ninety-year-old dictionary card catalog. The division was necessitated by overcrowding, obsolete subject headings, and lack of a complete authority list which resulted in like materials being scattered throughout the catalog under several headings. Two catalogs were created: the historical-biographical catalog, representing all works published before 1950 and all works of historical or biographical nature; and the current catalog, containing all works published from 1950 on, excepting historical or biographical materials. The 1950- catalog was further divided into name and subject catalogs, and the subject section was revised according to MeSH. The project was completed in about two years. As a result, searching time has been much reduced, and the library is able to take advantage of the annual revisions of MeSH to update the subject catalog.

关于编辑工作满意度的调查(上)

工作满意度是员工对自己工作喜欢或不喜欢的感情和情绪,同时,工作满意度也是生活满意度的一个组成部分。工作满意度的提高会促进生活满意度的提高,反过来,生活满意度的提高也会促进工作满意度的提高。本调查选取编辑为主要调查人群,目的就在于,首先诊断出版企业存在潜在的问题;其次找出现阶段出现的主要问题的原因(例如,确定是否因员工工资过低、管理不善、晋升渠道不畅等问题,而不是靠主观的随意猜测);最后,特别是在出版单位由事业向企业转制的过程中,评估组织变化和出版产业政策对编辑的影响,员工满意度调查能够有效地用来评价组织政策和规划中的各种变化,促进企业与员工之间的沟通和交流。
