This law requires the Secretary to fund training in medical library science. Grants go to students, working librarians who need retraining, and schools building training programs. Grants also help set up internships at qualified medical libraries.

The Secretary must make grants for four purposes. (1) Grants to individuals, so they can take up traineeships and fellowships leading to graduate degrees in medical library science, related health-science fields, or the communication of information. (2) Grants to librarians or information specialists in health sciences, so they can get intensive training or retraining — including training in automatic data processing and retrieval — to become more skilled at their jobs. (3) Grants to help qualifying public and private nonprofit institutions develop, expand, and improve their training programs in library science and health-science information communication. (4) Grants to help set up internship programs at established medical libraries that meet standards the Secretary sets.
