Libraries in health care settings reflect their parent institutions, which, in turn, are affected by environmental changes. The economic climate of the 1980s, unleashing competitive forces and threatening the survival of some institutions, has had a major impact on both hospitals and academic health centers. The challenge to libraries of these institutions calls for reassessment of programs and realignment in their power structures. It is argued that libraries which position themselves to capitalize on the current economic environment will create a future with new opportunities.
医疗保健机构中的图书馆反映了其母体机构，而母体机构又受到环境变化的影响。20世纪80年代的经济形势释放出竞争力量，威胁到一些机构的生存，对医院和学术健康中心都产生了重大影响。这些机构的图书馆所面临的挑战要求对其项目进行重新评估，并对其权力结构进行调整。有人认为，那些能够利用当前经济环境的图书馆将创造一个充满新机遇的未来。
