Abstract
Nowadays the Japan Medical Library Association (JMLA) is confronted by the problem how to make up the information network including hospital libraries. A brief review of the historical activities of JMLA tells us that the association has been much purified as an organization principally consisting of libraries affiliated to medical schools. In order to cope with the growing demand for the medical information from those who are engaged in the medical service, a more general system such as the National Scientific Information System promoted by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture should be taken into due consideration. Within that framework, hospital libraries are not regarded as information agencies but as users of medical libraries like other individual practitioners. The membership system of JMLA must be examined from other points of view than that of the information network.
