Information science is changing from an applied service-oriented activity to a basic research discipline. The library profession must earn a central place in this endeavor, and must address a number of important issues. These include ownership and intellectual property rights, a stronger research component for the profession, development of quality assurance systems for health information services, and a conceptual framework for training and career development of health sciences library technicians. The future of medical librarianship as a profession depends on a lasting commitment to research, a clear vision of the profession's fundamental mission and of the library's place in society.
信息科学正在从一项以应用服务为导向的活动转变为一门基础研究学科。图书馆行业必须在这一努力中赢得核心地位，并且必须解决一些重要问题。这些问题包括所有权和知识产权、该行业更强大的研究组成部分、健康信息服务质量保证体系的发展，以及健康科学图书馆技术人员培训和职业发展的概念框架。医学图书馆事业作为一个职业的未来取决于对研究的持久承诺、对该职业基本使命以及图书馆在社会中地位的清晰愿景。
