Sec. 4.6  Reference, bibliographic, reproduction, and consultation services.

    (a) General. To the extent resources permit, the Library will make 
available, upon request, reference, bibliographic, reproduction, and 
consultation services. Priority will be given to requests from health-
sciences professionals for services not reasonably available through 
local or regional libraries.
    (b) Specialized bibliographic services. The Director may provide 
bibliographies on individually selected medical or scientific topics 
upon request where it is consistent with the Library's purpose. The 
Director may publish and make available for general distribution by the 
Library, bibliographic searches determined to be of general interest. 
The Library may also produce

and distribute a limited number of bibliographies on topics of general 
interest to public or nonprofit health-related professional societies, 
research organizations, and other group users. These bibliographies may 
be produced on a regularly recurring or intermittent basis under 
contract between the Library and public or nonprofit agencies, when 
determined in each case by the Director to be necessary to assure more 
effective distribution of the bibliographic information.
    (c) Information retrieval system computer tapes. To the extent 
Library resources permit and in order to further the Library's purpose, 
the Director may make available upon request by agencies, organizations, 
and institutions copies of all or part of the Library's magnetic tapes.
