    • To outline future directions and new roles for hospital libraries.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of hospital information dependency.
    • Review of the Matheson Report's recommendations.
    • Exploration of library mission, self-assessment, and information needs analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Hospitals necessitate integrated information systems linking subsystems.
    • The library can play a crucial role in information management.
    • New roles for libraries in future healthcare information systems are identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrated information management is essential for hospital efficiency.
    • The hospital library's strategic role in information dissemination and management is highlighted.
    • Adapting library services is key to supporting evolving healthcare information needs.
