Hospital Library Advocacy Blog

Here is a blog (http://hosplib.blogspot.com) by Jeannine Gluck, that "brings together many resources related to hospital library advocacy: standards and their promotion, making the business case for library services, promotion of library within hospital and to outside organizations, etc."

For those of you who are interested in hospital library advocacy and promotion this is a wonderful site. I think this is a particularily valuable resource for small to medium size libraries who must justify and fight for each penny. I also think that it is a good resource for those well funded libraries so that they may keep their skills and knowledge base sharp. Things may be comfortable for them now, but it is best to be prepared. As in any industry, buy outs, coporate restructuring, and bad economies can happen and bring drastic changes.
