This paper describes a national survey designed to determine trends in videodisc use, development, and production in academic health sciences libraries throughout North America. In the winter of 1989, 131 four-page survey instruments went to library directors in academic health sciences institutions. Of these, 63 (48%) survey forms were completed and returned. Survey results indicated a wide range of videodisc technology use and development and a growing production of both Level I and Level III videodiscs within academic health sciences libraries. Videodisc technology delivery for student use was centralized within many medical libraries, although videodisc development was not centralized within academic health sciences centers. Most libraries (67%) have purchased videodisc technology and over one fourth (28%) are repurposing a videodisc within their institution. Over one fourth (25%) of respondents have already begun to develop their own videodisc software, and almost one fourth (24%) of respondents have a Level III videodisc in production. Clearly the use and development of videodisc technology for biomedical instruction is expanding within academic health sciences libraries.
本文描述了一项全国性调查，旨在确定北美学术健康科学图书馆中录像盘的使用、开发和制作趋势。1989年冬季，131份四页的调查问卷被发送给学术健康科学机构的图书馆馆长。其中，63份（48%）调查问卷被填写并返还。调查结果表明，学术健康科学图书馆中录像盘技术的使用和开发范围广泛，一级和三级录像盘的制作也在不断增加。尽管录像盘的开发在学术健康科学中心没有集中化，但许多医学图书馆将录像盘技术的提供集中用于学生使用。大多数图书馆（67%）已经购买了录像盘技术，超过四分之一（28%）的图书馆正在其机构内重新利用录像盘。超过四分之一（25%）的受访者已经开始开发自己的录像盘软件，近四分之一（24%）的受访者正在制作三级录像盘。显然，录像盘技术在生物医学教学中的使用和开发在学术健康科学图书馆中正在扩大。
