In the rapid development of optical disc technology, compact disc read-only-memory (CD-ROM) is gaining popularity as a reference tool. The National University of Singapore Medical Library (NUSML) is the first special library of the University Library System to introduce CD-ROM technology by setting up of the MEDLINE on CD-ROM system to complement its reference and information services since February 1989. The experiences of the Library is setting up the system and feedback obtained from end users through a questionnaire survey are presented in this paper. The success of the implementation of the new services has also given rise to new problems which have implications on library user education programmes, manpower planning, collection development and system security.
在光盘技术迅速发展的过程中，只读光盘存储器（CD-ROM）作为一种参考工具越来越受欢迎。新加坡国立大学医学图书馆（NUSML）是大学图书馆系统中第一个引入光盘技术的专业图书馆，自1989年2月起设立了CD-ROM版医学文献数据库（MEDLINE）系统，以补充其参考和信息服务。本文介绍了该图书馆建立该系统的经验以及通过问卷调查从最终用户那里获得的反馈。新服务实施的成功也引发了一些新问题，这些问题对图书馆用户教育计划、人力规划、馆藏发展和系统安全都有影响。
