Book Synopsis Guardians of Medical Knowledge by : Jennifer Connor
Book excerpt: Jennifer Connor explores the worldview of leaders in American medicine with respect to medical literature, history, libraries, and librarianship. Tracing the first fifty years of the Medical Library Association (MLA) from its conception as a resource for libraries to its post-World War II role as a national, professional organization, this thorough study portrays the 'genesis' of the MLA through analysis of its origins, its dominant medical culture, and its intricate network of physician leaders.
