摘要：Prior to the year I92I no instruction in library methods was given at McGill, and the student was allowed to pass out of the Medical School with but a memory of the reading room and its text-books. He had no occasion to search the catalogues, and it is doubtful if he even knew of their existence. The journals, too, unless attention was called to a special article by a teacher, were almost unlknown to the student, and any knowledge of them that he might have on graduation was obtained accidentally and without guidance as to their merits or usefulness. I have asked several recent graduates how much knowledge they had of bibliographic methods and if they could use the catalogues. They all replied that they knew very little and often wished they could have had some instruction during their student days.
