Abstract
Advances in library science have led to efficient and expedient methodologies for the acquisition of medical/basic scientific information. These advances provide an opportunity for physicians and librarians to strengthen their bonds of communality so that ultimately technology will serve to link them ever more firmly. This opportunity will be realized only if physicians and librarians continue to maintain open communication channels. In this technological age, social scientists are promulgating the message that, in this era of accelerated changes, the beneficiaries of technology are well advised to emphasize interpersonal relations to the utmost.
