Abstract
Scientific and academic institutions today have transformed their presence in their communities. The goal is to facilitate access to knowledge and strengthen the image their organizations present to the public. Working along these lines, medical libraries make the development of community services the underlying basis for their efforts. These efforts, when combined with information and communication technologies, will transform current as well as future generations. The members of any profession who contribute to the progress of society will have the skills to construct and evaluate content.
