Methodist Medical Center of Illinois Medical Library, a "basic-unit" medical library (i.e., not a resource library) in the Regional Medical Library Program recently completed one year of borrowing and lending books using OCLC. Of the books successfully borrowed through OCLC, 79% were obtained from nonmedical libraries. Forming cost-sharing OCLC clusters among basic units makes OCLC an affordable alternative to borrowing books from overburdened medical resource libraries.
伊利诺伊州卫理公会医疗中心医学图书馆是地区医学图书馆项目中的一个“基层单位”医学图书馆（即非资源图书馆），最近完成了为期一年的使用OCLC借阅书籍的工作。通过OCLC成功借阅的书籍中，79%来自非医学图书馆。在基层单位之间形成成本分摊的OCLC集群，使OCLC成为从负担过重的医学资源图书馆借阅书籍的一种经济实惠的替代方式。
