Evaluating the impact of library services on the quality and cost of medical care

M C Hardy et al. Bull Med Libr Assoc. 1985 Jan.

Abstract

Recent federal regulations have minimized the role of the hospital library in contributing to the quality of medical care and in lowering hospital costs. We trace the events that have led to these assumptions and discuss the complex problem of evaluating the impact of library services. Current research on the value and effectiveness of information is outlined.
