A Suggested Book List for Hospital Libraries

Pages 231-245 | Received 03 Mar 2013, Accepted 12 Apr 2013, Published online: 15 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

The book selection process in hospital libraries has changed as collections have moved from print to electronic formats. The routine aids to help in the process have disappeared and hospital librarians have been struggling individually and collectively to identify the books that belong on their shelves. The author used a variety of methods to solicit input from library users and also used other sources to compile a list of books that her library will keep in the most current print edition. The article describes the process and includes the book list.

Acknowledgments

The author thanks colleagues Jeannine Cyr-Gluck, Eastern Connecticut Health Network, and Donna Beales, Lowell General Hospital, for their suggestions and support in this project.
