Dr. Shiro Amako began practicing medicine in Sendagi, Tokyo in 1903. In March of that year, he first published Japana Centra Revuo Medicina (known officially in Japan as Igaku Chuo Zasshi and colloquially as Ichushi). Japana Centra Revuo Medicina is the second oldest medical abstract publication currently in existence. The Index Medicus, first published in the United States in 1879, is the oldest. Dr. Amako is well-known in Japanese medical circles for his pioneering work that contributed so much to Japanese medicine. Soseki Natsume returned to Japan from an extended period of study in England in January 1903. In March 1903, he began living in Sendagi near Dr. Amako. Soseki (the author is generally known by his given name rather than his family name in both Japan and the United States) launched his career as a novelist with I Am A Cat in 1905. This novel continues to be widely read in Japan and has been translated into many languages. One of the characters in I Am A Cat is Dr. Amaki. The fictional Dr. Amaki is said to be based on the real-life Dr. Amako. Recent scholars have placed increasing emphasis on this fact. Great achievement in both medicine and literature took place in Sendagi in the early years of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. There was a complex relationship between Soseki and Dr. Amako. Starting as a doctor/patient connection, it grew into a deep personal friendship involving not only the author and the doctor but members of their extended families as well.

The qualification system for the library profession in Japan, regulated in the library law, mainly stipulates the requirements for becoming public librarians and does not endorse expertise in any other types of libraries. Under such circumstances, the Japan Medical Association, the JMLA, has provided training courses, research grants, scholarships, and awards to develop professional health sciences librarians. The JMLA launched its health sciences librarians credentialing program called the JMLA Health Sciences Information Professionals, JHIP, in 2004. The JHIP program was designed by modeling on its counterpart in the United States, the Academy of Health Science Information Professionals, AHIP, which was started in 1989 by the Medical Library Association, MLA. In this paper, authors described distinctive aspects of the JHIP by comparing it with the AHIP and reviewing three surveys on the AHIP conducted by the MLA and some researchers to debate some issues that a professional credentialing program may have, with the hope of seeking the appropriate direction JHIP program should take. The findings from the comparison and the review of the surveys are: the strength of AHIP is based on distinctive professional competence; related marketing/promotion activities; and continuous effort on evaluation and adjustment of the program as a part of MLA's integrated professional development program.

わが国における病院薬局の薬品情報 (DI) 活動は, その必要性が提唱されてから10年余を経過した。そのあゆみの中で, 昭和40年に行なわれた第20回日本薬学大会でのDI活動シンポジウムは, DI活動に対する認識を深めるきっかけとなり, その後の発展に大きな影響を与えている。また毎年開催されている文部省主催の国公私立大学病院薬剤部職員研修会は, DI活動発祥の母体であり, 以後の発展に先進的役割を演じている。DI活動が要望されるようになった背景には, 多数の新医薬品が開発されるようになった結果, 多忙な診療業務に従事する医師は, それら医薬品の知識の整理をすることが困難となり, また薬剤師の立場から, 情報量の増大は, 従来個人的色彩の強い情報活動から, 病院レベルの組織的な情報活動を行なうことが必要になってきた。現在, 大病院の薬局には専任あるいは兼任の薬品情報係が置かれ, 薬剤師の職能として定着してきた。このような発展の経緯を辿ってきたDI活動の現況を, 東京大学病院薬剤部の例によって紹介する。DI活動は患者指向の情報サービスであるが, 医薬品情報資料に裏づけられており, したがって医学, 薬学図書館との協力関係が必要である。

The hospital library network has to train hospital librarians. The Council of Hospital Libraries in Shizuoka Prefecture, a regional network, has training meetings twice a year. The regional hospital library network has recently started another training program for hospital librarians. In order to discuss and study the many things which have to be dealt with in their routine work, the librarians of the Hamamatsu University School of Medicine and hospital librarians in Hamamatsu have held other bimonthly meetings, “training of hospital librarians in Hamamatsu”, since February of 1988. The latter training sessions have been very useful for both the university librarians and the hospital librarians. A report of the results of the sessions appeared in the bulletin of the Council of Hospital Libraries in Shizuoka Prefecture, “Booktruck”, Good connections have been established because of such sessions, and regional network activities have been furthered. Hospital librarians in central and eastern Shizuoka Prefecture have also established independent training sessions. In order to raise quality of library services, it is useful to develop the educational system for hospital librarians by allowing them to meet, discuss and study together the problems they confront in their routine work.

解説For decades, the cost of academic journals has been increasing, and academic libraries have had to cope with this situation. The "Big Deal" subscription model is no longer available for many libraries. In this study, the Nature Publishing Group Pay-Per-View (PPV) service: Articles on Demand (AOD) is examined from the perspective of costbenefit.This study also examined whether the AOD model fits the needs of researchers. To demonstrate the cost evaluation and usage features, the AOD access log was examined. Globally, the AOD cost is lower than that of any other type of subscription contract. AOD cannot be archived, but the AOD log indicates that recent material is accessed more frequently than older material. Old papers are not used. After the introduction of AOD, the number of used titles increase by more than two times the previous number. AOD fits the potential needs of researchers. Major usage concentrates on specific journals, while minor usage extends to a wide range of titles. The combination of a title-based contract with PPV would be an effective means of coping with the increasing costs of academic journals.(著者抄録)

The Igaku Chuo Zasshi (the Japana Centra Revuo Medicina) was started by the late Dr. Amako in 1903. It has, over a period of last 80 years, produced about 4, 000, 000 abstracts reflecting changes and progress of medical science, dental science, pharmaceutical science and other related fields in Japan.Along with the development of science and economy in Japan, educational institutions, research facilities, health care facilities spread rapidly. Along with this development, the fields of research were also diversified resulting in corresponding increase in the volume of literature published. In fiscal 1984, the number of periodicals increased to about 1800 and the number of abstracts increased to about 190, 000. This year also saw the publication of the Volume Number 3, 342.As the number of periodicals increased, strong need was felt for reducing the time lag, simplification of retrieval procedures and smooth operation of the entire operation. In response to these needs a comprehensive study was initiated and continued over the past several years. As a result, computerization and machine editing have been carried out since April 1983. This enabled to add abstracts simultaneously with the index and also made annual cumulated index a reality for the first time.The Medical Abstracts Society started to cooperate with the Japan Information Center of Science and Technology (JICST) in the creation of “the JICST File on Medical Science in Japan” from 1981 and for creation of an English language data base from 1985.The Society was authorized to receive the research grants of the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture from 1981.The Society plans to continue to improve abstracting services and at the same time strive to develop new information services, draw up measures to keep up with developments in research with the view of responding to the needs of researcher and literature searchers.

Web sites are becoming more common these days, The Osaka University Life Sciences Library has tried to create a useful and worthwhile Web site, which was established in July 1997, to provide up-to-date information for users. This paper describes its experience of creating a notable Web site. This Web site puts main news and information which is worthwhile for the users on the upper part of the homepage, as the users can find out whether the information is necessary or not at first access. An easily used-site and regular or frequent renewal encourage users to browse the Web site repeatedly. A maintenance system is necessary for renewing the pages effectively. Each item is taken care of by people in charge to guarantee that up-to-date information is provided. Also, a working group has been organized to manage all the pages. In addition, public relations of the Web site and continuous provision of useful information are important to continue this new service. Its purpose and contents are also discussed.
