At many medical schools, the medical library assists faculty in finding and integrating new technology into the classroom, student laboratories, and lecture or small group sessions. Libraries also provide faculty with a place to do development. This paper recounts the author's experience creating software-based educational materials. In the process of creating the Slice of Life videodisc and developing and distributing other medical education software, techniques that do and do not work in producing multimedia for medical education became evident. Use of multimedia features and new modalities not possible with books, rather than development of electronic versions of texts and atlases, should be emphasized. Important human factors include collaboration, continuity, evaluation, and sharing of equipment, software, code, effort, expertise, and experiences. Distribution and technical support also are important activities in which medical libraries can participate.
在许多医学院校，医学图书馆协助教师寻找新技术并将其融入课堂、学生实验室以及讲座或小组讨论中。图书馆还为教师提供了一个进行开发的场所。本文讲述了作者创建基于软件的教育材料的经历。在制作《生活片段》视频光盘以及开发和分发其他医学教育软件的过程中，在为医学教育制作多媒体时可行和不可行的技术变得显而易见。应强调使用书籍所无法实现的多媒体功能和新形式，而不是开发文本和图谱的电子版。重要的人为因素包括协作、连贯性、评估以及设备、软件、代码、努力、专业知识和经验的共享。分发和技术支持也是医学图书馆可以参与的重要活动。
