    A survey of departmental libraries at The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center found their collections align with their intended roles. This study clarifies the function of departmental libraries in medical settings and suggests areas for improved cooperation.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Librarianship
    • Information Science in Healthcare

    Background:

    • Growing concerns among library staff regarding the role of departmental libraries.
    • The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center of The Pennsylvania State University context.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Define the role of departmental libraries in a medical school/hospital setting.
    • Objectively analyze the Hershey Medical Center's library situation.
    • Identify potential cooperation between main and departmental libraries.
    • Delineate trends arising from central library funding issues.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a questionnaire by the George T. Harrel Library.
    • Distribution of the questionnaire to departmental libraries.
    • Analysis of returned responses.
