The process of training medical students must involve the acquisition of knowledge directly from their teachers and from learning resources. The organization and accessibility of materials in a medical library make it an invaluable instructional tool within the Learning Resources System. Most medical schools have omitted the incorporation of library training from their curricula. To correct this anomaly, it is being suggested that a programme of library training be commenced by medical school libraries. Such a programme must comprise instructions in the use of the library, in bibliographic methods and "hands-on' exercises. A practical design is suggested and a method of evaluating the programme should be designed to provide information about its usefulness to the students before it is finally incorporated into the curriculum.
