This extensively revised, new edition brings that invaluable content up to date, tackling important changes in technology and the increasing financial pressures that have affected both the health care and library industries. From new initiatives, roles, and technologies to assessing the needs of an organization to managing libraries, the range and depth of this text is incomparable.

Unlike other books on the subject, this volume focuses extensively on the management of the 21st-century health sciences library. It offers:

  • Information on concepts, such as information practice and knowledge services, not available elsewhere
  • Guidance on managing both virtual and physical libraries
  • In-depth coverage of new areas such as knowledge
    services, electronic health record activities, and outreach
    to the organization
  • Support for creating a seamless electronic connection
    between information and the customer

The 16 detailed chapters also cover planning and marketing of the library, financial and human resources management, and evaluating and improving library services, as well as collection management and space planning in the virtual age. Readers will be encouraged to think innovatively and empowered to take on the tasks necessary to deal with the constant change that is the norm in health care information.

Complete with a CD-ROM with examples of management documents, forms, and live web links, The Medical Library Assocaition Guide to Managing Health Care Libraries, 2nd Edition is an instructional tool that will fortify current and future health care librarians, allowing them to face challenges proactively, with confidence and skill.

A member of the Medical Library Association and the Colorado Council of Medical Librarians (CCML) since 1971, Dudden has been a leader in many of the technology and evaluation efforts of both groups. She has served in more than sixty elected or appointed offices at the national, chapter, and section and local levels. She is a Distinguished Member of the Academy of Health Information Professionals, a Fellow of the Medical Library Association and a former member of the MLA board. She served as president of the MLA Hospital Libraries Section, the MLA Research Section and CCML.Committed to sharing the knowledge that she has gained throughout her career, she has taught more than fifteen courses and presented many papers and posters. Some of her accomplishments over the years include work in standards, surveys and technology. She was instrumental in the development of the 1984 edition of MLA's Hospital Library Standards during her tenure as chair of the Hospital Library Standards and Practices Committee. The committee also wrote a paper on the JCAHO standards that received MLA's Ida and George Eliot Prize in 1981. Dudden worked on the successful MLA Benchmarking Network Task Force and project since 1999, helping with the analysis of the 2002 and 2004 surveys. For her role in supporting the vision, development, and implementation on the Benchmarking Network, she received the MLA President's Award in 2003. With CCML members, Dudden has worked on surveys of interlibrary loan activity form 1977 to 2007, a series of surveys designed to analyze usage patterns and promote balanced resource sharing. She and the survey committee members wrote a research article about the 1997 survey. For her work with these and other CCML efforts, she received CCML's Marla Graber Award for Excellence and Achievement in Health Sciences Librarianship in 2005.With a career-long interest in technology and being a promoter of its use in libraries, Dudden worked on projects locally that promoted the use of e-mail for interlibrary loan as early as 1980 and was instrumental in expanding the shared integrated library system with a National Library of Medicine grant in 1991. For many years, she chaired the committee that produced the CCML Journal Locator as a computerized union list of serials starting in 1977, which is now online.

"This text has much to recommend it ... The strength of the publication lies in its breadth and depth--the coverage of topics is comprehensive, the detailed applications are exquisitely practical."

--HLA News
 
"The greatest strength of this book is the quality and completeness of the information. Each chapter is written by a different author, but the differences in style are effortlessly blurred. The result is a cohesive, multiauthored, detailed work that reads as a single item. Each chapter can stand on its own merit, because the content is so thorough ... within a single chapter, the reader can experience a breadth of possibilities." 
--Journal of the American Medical Association
