Abstract:
Earlier, patrons had been allowed to browse freely among the books and journals. By 1890, the U.S. Army Medical Library had grown so large and served so many readers that John Shaw Billings was forced to restrict access to the stacks. Appears in A history of the National Library of Medicine by Dr. Wyndham D. Miles, p. 204.
