- The Future of the NLM (National Library of Medicine) Documents Section. Adams, Scott Information Retrieval Information Services Information Storage Interlibrary Loans Library Collections Medical Libraries National Libraries Use Studies This study revealed that the use of the NLM Documents Section is extremely modest. A total of 144 inter-library loan requests were filled by the Section in the months of January and February, 1972; most of these were from Government agencies. The study investigator recommended that: (1) the collection should be maintained by the NLM; (2) that priority should be given to State and Federal documents; (3) that the NLM divest itself of responsibility for classified items by transferring them to the National Archives; (4) that requests for copies of technical reports be referred to the National Technical Information Service; (5) that the Section be maintained as a separate unit under the Loan and Stack Section; (6) that more manpower is needed in the Technical Services Division to acquire and catalog material to revitalize the collection; and (7) that the resources of this special collection be appropriately publicized.
