The shortage of medical librarians is felt most acutely by the small library, because the librarian's job may not seem challenging or the parent institution or organization is not willing or able to pay a competitive salary. The librarian's position often is filled, therefore, by an unqualified person, or a single professional librarian may have nonprofessionals as assistants. This paper discusses cooperative arrangements for sharing the service of a professional librarian and enumerates means of providing instruction for nonprofessional personnel.
小型图书馆对医学图书馆员短缺的感受最为深切，因为图书馆员的工作可能看起来缺乏挑战性，或者母体机构或组织不愿意或无力支付具有竞争力的薪资。因此，图书馆员的职位常常由不合格人员担任，或者一名专业图书馆员可能会有非专业人员作为助手。本文讨论了共享专业图书馆员服务的合作安排，并列举了为非专业人员提供指导的方法。
