A new hospital library: a marketing opportunity.

A new or remodeled library presents a unique marketing opportunity for the hospital librarian. Furthermore, a well-designed library markets itself through its convenience, attractiveness, and ease of use. A marketing approach to library planning takes into account needs of users and of library staff and considers the librarian's relations with the architect as well as with hospital employees. This paper describes ways to combine library planning with marketing techniques and specifies aspects of the library that contribute to its good image.

Criteria-based performance evaluations for hospital library managers.

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) currently requires healthcare institutions use specific, criteria-based evaluations to measure employee performance. These evaluations must be closely linked to each employee's position description. This paper discusses the revision of the library manager's position description and correlating criteria-based performance evaluation to more closely meet JCAHO requirements. The paper uses a case study featuring Chelsea Community Hospital Medical Library, Chelsea, Michigan.

JCAH accreditation and the hospital library: a guide for librarians.

The continuing effort to develop standards for libraries in health care institutions has resulted in the creation of two broad groups of standards: (1) quantitative and specific, and (2) qualitative and flexible. The library standards of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAH), a major example of the second type, were revised and expanded considerably in 1978, bringing them into line with standards for other hospital departments. Possible areas of unclarity or difficulty for the librarian in complying with the revised JCAH standards are discussed, including those relating to staffing, consultants, library technicians, analysis of resources, assessment of needs, documentation, policies and procedures manuals, and the library committee. The JCAH site visit, including preparation of the Hospital Survey Profile, gathering information for the surveyor, and the summary conference, offers opportunities to librarians to participate in an institution-wide effort, to upgrade management practices, and to demonstrate the need for, and effectiveness of, library services in their hospitals.

Controlling hospital library theft.

At Capital Health System/Fuld Campus (formerly Helene Fuld Medical Center), the Health Sciences Library lost many books and videocassettes. These materials were listed in the catalog but were missing when staff went to the shelves. The hospital had experienced a downsizing of staff, a reorganization, and a merger. When the library staff did an inventory, $10,000 worth of materials were found to be missing. We corrected the situation through a series of steps that we believe will help other libraries control their theft. Through regularly scheduling inventories, monitoring items, advertising, and using specific security measures, we have successfully controlled the library theft. The January 2002 inventory resulted in meeting our goal of zero missing books and videocassettes. We work to maintain that goal.
