Minimum Standards Being Developed By

r-t.A 1-bspital Library Standards and Practices Committee

by Rosalind F. Dudden

The MLA standing committee, the 1-bspital Library Standards and Practices Com­

mittee (establised in 1978, revised in 1980) (see p. 22 of the MLA Directory

for charges) is presently writing quantitative, minimum standardsror hospital

1 ibrari es, as directed by the MLA Board. The purpose of these standards is to

provide consultants and practicing librarians with a standard for levels of

service and collection size that would be considered mimimum. These standards

would be considered a reconunendation by MLA for minimal practice of 1 ib­

rari anship in a hospital library. The standards for a mature level of service

will be reflected in the new book on hospital library management to be pub­

lished by MLA this year. In that book, the current practice of a quality lib­

rary program is presented in detail on all aspects of hospital librarianship.

In the minimum standards being developed by our colllllittee, seven to ten of the

most important aspects are concisely presented describing what is minimally

desirable. Following these descriptions, quantities of service and collection

based on hospital size and program categories are listed.

These minimum standards would be used by consultants and librarians when asked

to assess hospital library services. They could be used as a qui ck reference

tool during an initial assessment and shown to hospital administrators to de­

monstrate what their present library situation is lacking. To upgrade a ser­

vice or do an i ndepth assessment, the new hospital 1 ibrary management book

would be used as an example of a quality operation.

It is hoped that these minimum standards in development will be useful within

the context of their purpose as explained brei fly here. Anyone wishing to re­

view drafts of the standards may send a stamped, self-addressed envelop to

Rosalind F. Dudden, Library and Media Resources Center, Mercy Medical Center,

1619 Milwaukee St., Denver, CO 80206. The third draft was mailed to 125 inter­

ested librarains in December. The 4th draft is expexted to be mailed around

February 1, 1982. Requesters will recieve the working draft upon receipt of

their envelop.
