The current financial status of the health care industry is viewed both from its effect on the hospital library collection and the response of the hospital library to the financial crisis. Predecessors of this list have been intended as selection guides for a small or medium-size library in a hospital or comparable medical facility. As the prices of books and journals continue to soar, the secondary purpose as a core collection for a consortium of small hospital libraries or a network sharing library resources may eventually become its primary use. Books (607) and journals (140) are categorized by subject; the book list is followed by an author/editor index, and the subject list of journals by an alphabetical title listing. To purchase the entire collection of books and to pay for 1991 subscriptions would require about $77,700. The cost of only the asterisked items totals $29,300.
本文从医疗保健行业的财务状况对医院图书馆馆藏的影响以及医院图书馆对金融危机的应对这两个方面进行了探讨。该清单的前身旨在作为医院或类似医疗设施中小型图书馆的选书指南。随着书籍和期刊价格持续飙升，作为小型医院图书馆联盟的核心馆藏或共享图书馆资源网络的二级用途，最终可能会成为其主要用途。书籍（607种）和期刊（140种）按主题分类；书籍清单后附有作者/编辑索引，期刊主题清单后按字母顺序列出标题。购买整套书籍并支付1991年的订阅费用大约需要77,700美元。仅带星号的项目费用总计为29,300美元。
