    Area of Science:

    • Medical Informatics
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Effective medical information services are crucial for quality healthcare.
    • Small hospitals (<100 beds) face challenges providing adequate library services due to high unit costs.
    • Many small US hospitals have limited or no library resources.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the information service gap in small hospitals.
    • To identify solutions for providing cost-effective library services in smaller healthcare settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of traditional library service costs in small-scale settings.
    • Evaluation of recent technological and resource developments impacting library services.

    Main Results:

    • Traditional library services are prohibitively expensive for small hospitals.
