Enhancing Value and Visibility

The Hospital Library as Manager

Pages 83-89 | Published online: 08 Sep 2008
 

Abstract

As libraries make the transition into the electronic age, they must become creative in enhancing value to their organizations. By volunteering to manage the archives, the library has become involved with collecting, preserving, and retrieving documents and artifacts that chart the development of health care in the community for the past 100 years; therefore, visibility of the library has been increased to those both within the organization and outside in the community. Patrons look to the library for answers that are other than medical, therefore diversifying the library's research capabilities. This column will include a brief history of archives as well as the library's acquisition and organization of this department.
