特别图书馆是嘛。。。Special

By Jennifer M.

我在哈特福德医学协会（HMS）的馆员历史图书馆，位于法明顿，CT康涅狄格大学卫生子地下室。根据维基百科，一个特殊的库是“为既不是学术，学校，公共或国家图书馆图书馆的术语。金宝搏彩票特别库包括企业库，法律图书馆，医学图书馆，博物馆图书馆，新闻图书馆和非盈利库“。

The HMS Historical Library was created as a lending library for the members of the Hartford Medical Society, founded in 1846. The purpose of the society was to promote collegiality, raise the status of allopathic physicians in mid-nineteenth century Hartford, and provide for their continuing education. There was a robust acquisitions budget for over 100 years, and the society librarian was a practicing physician until 2009, when I was hired. Consequently, the library is a snapshot of roughly 150 years of profound change in the practice of medicine. Because some of its members were bibliophiles, the HMS collection also has works that are unique (archival materials) and works from the 18th, 17th and even the 16th centuries.

Any age has its popular theories and current trends. We like to think that the direction is always towards true progress and the betterment of mankind. A special library of this sort is necessary as a corrective. Progress is not straightforward. Some theories have their 15 minutes of fame, only to be proved dead wrong. Others are wrong, but lead to better theories. Discovery is a messy process, and the adoption of new ideas even more so.

当我在一个特殊的库，例如这一次，我在其持有代表的创造性努力谦卑，但我也希望这些材料将有助于防止我们重复过去的错误。我们当然会，创造我们自己的现代失误。在这个新的数字世界里，让我们一起努力仍然有专业图书馆。他们记录我们很人性的弱点，我们发现一起。
