Virtual Library Experience

Title

Virtual Library Experience

Description

The virtual library concept has been popular and likely well accepted by community hospitals and administrators in recent years. But it was not the case 6 years ago. This article covers the background of how a traditional medical library was transformed into a virtual library, how that transformation impacted the library's collections and services, how the library gets its funding, and how to promote a virtual library. This report is based on the author's personal experience at Silver Cross Hospital, Joliet, Illinois.
