Medical Library Downsizing

Medical Library Downsizing explores corporate downsizing and other company-wide events as they relate to medical librarians in their organization. This training manual—selected for inclusion in Doody's Core Titles in the Health Sciences, 2005 edition (DCT)—is designed to help librarians prepare for a new era where shrinking budgets, inflated journal costs, and the increasing demand for new and expensive services now put salaries and jobs at risk. While focused on health care issues, this book will appeal to a general library audience and can be used in a graduate course in library administration, corporate librarianship, or hospital librarianship.
