Abstract：The continuous knowledge acquisition is always demanded from a librarian of the field of biomedical information and the expert. Those information can receive through Internet. However, information sharing is strengthened more by an informal network through a person and a person.
You can realize it in held Meeting on Medical Information Services every year. It surpassed kinds of libraries with a slogan of "Learning from each other!", and it has been made by will of a participant individual. It merely carries a role as a place of interchange for a biomedical information expert not a place publishing the results of research. This report focuses about a personnel exchange in the meeting.

Abstract：Healthcare information 'Bookshelf' Project (HIBOP), launched in 2004, has been developing a new way of providing healthcare/medical information to patients and general public. HIBOP has made a list of "Tobyo-ki" (books in which patient narratives are described by patients themselves and/or their caregivers) by the help of Mr. Hoshino of Paramedica, purchased most of listed books and provided some of them to several public/hospital/university libraries free of charge. HIBOP has also been contributing to make a new website "Tobyo-ki Library" which was developed by Dr. Takano of National Institute of Informatics. Librarians, researchers, health professionals, publishers and many other people are involved in HIBOP and such a diversity of members makes the activity of HIBOP more energetic and delightful.

The HUMI Project's photographing method of rare books will be explained in the present and the next articles. Here in the first of the two, the evolution of the photographing method which led to the development of a special book cradle will be outlined. An explanation will be given on the photographing method of producing digital facsimiles from bound books, using the special book cradle and custom-made camera-support devised by the HUMI Project. This will be accompanied by a description of the assembling of the photographing set and the photographing process.
