Berman Medical Library

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I was actually surprised at the dearth of public sourcing about this library. Other than trivial mentions, I found no in-depth coverage on the search engines from independent reliable sources. Should probably be a redirect, but an editor continues to revert it back to this poorly-referenced stub article.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:50, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Here is a substantive 2015 article about the library and its medical history museum, from the Jerusalem Post: "Combining old and new to teach medical students: The Hebrew University’s medical library is consolidating digital data with old, rare books and medical equipment that continue to educate". Searches also turn up some brief references about the 1919 founding and subsequent support of this library by Dr. Julius Jarcho:  Not sure yet if there will be enough here to warrant a separate article, but this can at least provide some additional sourced information to add to the redirect target, presumably Hebrew University of Jerusalem. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:51, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - nice find,, if the eventual consensus is to keep, the article's name should be changed, as per your reference to the "Muriel and Philip Berman Medical Library".  Onel 5969  TT me 19:09, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Jerusalem Post article is quite deep and all other scattered mentioned are enough in my opinion to let it stay. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 12:29, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Keyed "Medical Library" + "Hebrew University" into a proquest newspapers archive search, and turned up copious coverage, not lacking in sic transit gloria mundi irony.  There are articles about the collection itself in major newspapers (I added only a couple,) about the building, and the naming donations.  I first added a couple of articles that turned up when I searched on the articles title.  Then ran this search and found more than I can add now.  The Herald Trib and lots of other papers covered this library as it developed in the 1930s.  Also lots in the Jewish papers and in more in the Allentown and other PA papers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:15, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
