BEFORE AND AFTER CD-ROM: lTS IMPACT ON THE MANAGEMENT OF RESOURCES IN AN AFRICAN LffiRARY Podmore, Ann University of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe The University of Zimbabwe Medical Library (UZML), a branch of the Main University Library, is part of the Medical Faculty, which is situated in the Parirenyat- wa Hospital complex in Harare . The library grew from a small collection, started in 1963 when the first medical students were enrolled. lts expansion was greatly accelerated by the donation of the collections of the Central African Journalof Medicine and the Mashonaland Branch of the British Medical Association (now the Zimbabwe Medical Association). These books and journals helped to establish one of the best stocked medicallibraries in Africa'. A condition of the donation was that the library's facilities would be available to all medical practitioners in the country. A further development of this responsibility occurred in 1983, when the library was declared the National Focal Point for health sciences information. This means that anyone registered with the Health Professions Councilmay use the library, and anyone needing information on health-related topics may request assistance.
