Image caption on page 94 of the book US National Library of Medicine: "Indexing medical literature was one of the most significant programs in the library throughout the 20th century. Indexers created bibliographic citations for every article published in the thousands of medical journals covered by the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLARS) and, since 1971, MEDLARS Online (MEDLINE). Among them was Stanley Jablonski, pictured here, a lexicographer who worked at the library from 1949 to 1976. He was a skilled linguist who could read and index medical literature in ten languages. Jablonski played an active part in the development of MEDLARS and became head of the library's Index Section. "
