Since 1907 records have been kept of publications by staff members of the Mayo Clinic, and this information has been invaluable. The Author Catalog has proved itself such a useful tool for the Mayo Clinic that other libraries, large and small, may wish to consider adopting such a service. The Mayo medical complex is a large institution with more than 500 staff and faculty members engaged in the publication of clinical, educational, and research findings. The great amount of cross-disciplinary cooperation and interdepartmental research makes essential an up-to-date record of what is going on. The Mayo Clinic Library developed a comprehensive computerized method for identifying research and for identifying and indexing publications of Mayo staff members. At the end of 1971 more than 25,000 citations had been stored on computer tape.
自1907年以来，梅奥诊所的工作人员发表的文献都有记录，这些信息非常宝贵。事实证明，作者目录对梅奥诊所来说是一个非常有用的工具，其他大小图书馆可能都希望考虑采用这样的服务。梅奥医疗中心是一个大型机构，有500多名工作人员和教员从事临床、教育和研究成果的发表工作。大量的跨学科合作和部门间研究使得及时记录进展情况变得至关重要。梅奥诊所图书馆开发了一种全面的计算机化方法，用于识别研究以及识别和索引梅奥工作人员的出版物。到1971年底，超过25000条参考文献已存储在计算机磁带上。
