Janet Doe (April 11, 1895 in Newbury, Vermont – November 17, 1985 in Somers, New York[1]) was a medical librarian notable for her work at the New York Academy of Medicine and her consultant work with the Army Medical Library.[2]
Janet Doe began her library career at the New York Public Library. She entered medical librarianship in 1923 as an assistant librarian at Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.[3] From 1949-1956, Doe served as the first female library director at the New York Academy of Medicine.[4] In 1956, Doe spoke before the United States Congress on behalf of the Medical Library Association advocating for the designation of a National Library of Medicine and its transition from the Armed Forces Medical Library administered under the Department of Defense.[5]
Doe served as president of the Medical Library Association from 1948 to 1949.[6] Her 1949 presidential address, entitled The Development of Education For Medical Librarianship, was republished in a 2012 issue of the Journal of the Medical Library Association.[7] Through a guest editorial in 1950, Doe announced the sanctioning of regional chapter meetings for the Medical Library Association, a tradition which continues today.[8] Her memory is preserved in the annual Janet Doe Lectureship Archived 2023-12-01 at the Wayback Machine series, established in 1965.[9] She gave her oral history to Estelle Brodman in 1977.[6]
