Facilities have expanded from this room to the hall and into several unused elevator shifts. Bragg Library Answers Medical Questions FAYETTEVILLE-- Where would one go for Information on Stingray bites? Whom could one ask, "How does the black vulture of Yucatan carry the disease of Anthraz?" The answers are the medi cal library at Ft. Bragg's Womack Army Hospital and its librarian, Mrs. Emily Miller. For almost five years, Mrs. Miller has combined her avo cation with her new vocation. During that time she has man aged to nearly double the li brary's collection of medical journals at virtually no cost to the Army. There are frequently emer gency cases of poisoning for which Mrs. Miller has sev eral file folders of informa tion and numerous books for quick access. Complications in surgery or the prospect of a serious op eration frequently send doc tors and operating room per sonnel to the medical library for pertinent information. Doctors from Pope Air For ce Base are particularly in terested in problems of the ear, nose, and throat, all cov ered extensively in medical library materials. The library subscribes to some 100 medical journals and 10 dental journals currently. On all of them and all old ones, Mrs. Miller has a file which tells whether or not they are in the library. Most current journals are available in racks which se parate the hospital hall from the reading area. The racks are safely tucked away at night but occasionally a journ al or book will disappear. Doctors are able to obtain the key from the main desk at night when there is no one on duty in the library. "If 1 notice a book miss ing and don't find a card, I go hunting for the doctor who had the key," the libr arian states with an admir able possessiveness of her re ference responsiblities. Mrs. Miller, the wife of a country doctor for 29 years, earned her undergraduate de gree in education and a de gree in library science from Emory University. Aware of the continuing ed ucational needs of all per sons connected with the med ical profession, she has seen to it that almost every con ceivable subject is on file somewhere in Womack's med ical library. All the latest books are kept together on a centrally located table. Doctors who have just a few minutes to browse may see the most re cent publications and they re main available for rapid re ference. Mrs. Miller, although she claims to be six weeks be hind in her dusting, still arr anges to have books on the shelf within 24 hours of their arrival at the library. The library's collection on radiology, is kept in the rad iological department. A hand book on cardiovascular sur gery for the nurses might be put in the operating room as often there is information re lating to unusual cases which corpsmen might benefit by reading. Help comes from the files of pamphlets and articles. Everything from rare dis eases to teaching aids may be located in one file. A kind of catch-all folder on worms is labeled "wormy world." There are some color slides available of tropical diseases in the medical library from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Mrs. Miller can write to the National Library of Med icine for free reprints of any material a doctor needs. From medical libraries at Duke, Chapel Hill, or Atlanta ' comes much aid also. Li brarians, local and from dis tant places, help in filling gaps in medical library col lections. Medical libraries list tneir surpluses. From the Vet erans Administration Hospital in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, come more than 70 volumes on ner vous mental diseases. Twelve boxes of journals arrived from the VA in Livermore, Calif, all free. Mrs. Miller is setting up the collection of recent mod ical books and journals at the library of Cape Fear Val ley Hospital and will help with the nursing school li brary at Highsmith Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Miller has a library assistant now and some sum mer help but probably no one else knows as well the loc ation of the vast amount of varied medical information in the library. "Doctors leave me notes at night to please help them find something," she stated. From ail around the county doctors call Mrs. Miller and the Army Hospital library for special help. Presently there is a restricted telephone in the medical library but Mrs. Miller may be reached through the hospital number. Apparently undaunted by the task of keeping the medical library in order and growing simultaneously, Mrs. Miller is still determined to antici pate, whenever possible, the needs of her library's read ers and meet them ahead of tiem. Dr. and Mrs. Harry Mil ler are former residents of Murphy. While here Mrs. Miller taught at Murphy High School while Dr. Miller prac ticed medicine. Clnirch Drmsl MURPHY?
