Data compiled over seven years present evidence that small-group or "cluster" carrels are successfully utilized by medical students in a learning resource center (LRC) and, therefore, should be considered to be an efficient method of managing space, software, and hardware. Three management concepts account for high utilization of an LRC operated as a service in support of a medical school curriculum. Of special importance is the interaction of LRC staff with faculty, which directly accounts for a collection relevant to the curriculum. The other management concepts are responsiveness to students and delivery of services that support production and distribution of print and audiovisual resources for student learning.
七年多来收集的数据表明，在学习资源中心（LRC），医科学生成功地使用了小组或“集群”式单人学习隔间，因此，应将其视为一种管理空间、软件和硬件的有效方法。三个管理理念促成了作为支持医学院课程的一项服务来运营的学习资源中心的高利用率。特别重要的是学习资源中心工作人员与教员之间的互动，这直接促成了与课程相关的藏书。其他管理理念包括对学生需求的响应以及提供支持印刷品和视听资源的制作与分发以促进学生学习的服务。
