Creating the library itself: collection, staff, and space

Bull Med Libr Assoc. 1971 Apr;59(2):296-9.

Abstract

It is stressed that many points must be settled between the librarian and the planners. Relationships between the library and the medical school and the university library should be made clear. The librarian must be intimately involved with the architect, with the selection of faculty, and with the planning of curriculum. Consideration is given to problems of collection building in the areas overlapping with other institutions and of journal collections. Cataloging is considered, and the need to develop accounting procedures.
