As part of an investigation of health sciences library manpower, the universe of health-related institutions and programs (excluding hospitals) was surveyed by postcard questionnaire to produce an inventory and description of libraries providing services to these institutions and programs. Seventysix percent (5,215) of the institutions reported access to library resources, indicating usage of some 2,207 non-hospital libraries. Eighty percent (2,431) of the institutions reported that the library used was "within" their own institution; 20 percent (608) noted that the library was "outside" of their institution. The distribution of health-related institutions and libraries is shown by RML districts, together with relevant census data. A classification of libraries, based on the degree of involvement of the libraries' facilities, resources and personnel in supplying services to health-related institutions, was developed. It is concluded that projections of manpower needs should take into account institutions and programs not at present possessing health sciences libraries as well as documented demand in existing health sciences libraries.
作为健康科学图书馆人力调查的一部分，通过明信片调查问卷对与健康相关的机构和项目（不包括医院）进行了全面调查，以编制为这些机构和项目提供服务的图书馆的清单并加以描述。76%（5215个）的机构报告可以使用图书馆资源，这表明约2207个非医院图书馆得到了利用。80%（2431个）的机构报告所使用的图书馆在其自身机构“内部”；20%（608个）指出图书馆在其机构“外部”。与健康相关的机构和图书馆的分布情况按地区医学图书馆（RML）分区显示，并附上了相关的人口普查数据。根据图书馆设施、资源和人员为与健康相关的机构提供服务的参与程度，制定了图书馆的分类标准。得出的结论是，人力需求预测应考虑到目前没有健康科学图书馆的机构和项目，以及现有健康科学图书馆中已记录的需求。
