The Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries (AAHSL) was founded in 1978 with the goal of strengthening academic health sciences libraries and increasing their participation nationally in efforts to improve medical education. A primary objective of the organization was to achieve a formal relationship with the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) through membership in the Council of Academic Societies (CAS). Initial steps in establishing AAHSL are examined, including its efforts to join CAS. The author pays tribute to AAHSL's founders, in particular Gerald Oppenheimer, without whose vision and leadership AAHSL would not have been formed.
学术健康科学图书馆协会(AAHSL)成立于1978年,其目标是加强学术健康科学图书馆,并提高它们在全国范围内参与改善医学教育工作的程度。该组织的一个主要目标是通过加入学术团体理事会(CAS)与美国医学院协会(AAMC)建立正式关系。本文考察了AAHSL成立的初步步骤,包括其加入CAS的努力。作者向AAHSL的创始人致敬,特别是杰拉尔德·奥本海默,没有他的远见和领导,AAHSL就不会成立。
