Abstract
The past 20 years have witnessed computer and communications revolutions, rapid progress in genetics research, increasing public interest in personal health decisions, and corresponding expansions in the services provided by the National Library of Medicine. These concomitant and linked developments have upset the information marketplace and inspired policy debates about telecommunications, intellectual property, and access to the results of government-funded research. The Internet and the World Wide Web have transformed the way libraries deliver information services and have created perceived alternatives to libraries. What will happen to medical libraries in the post-Google world?(Figure)Today, most medical libraries exist . . .Keywords
