Many hospitals are unable to maintain a full-or even half-time professional librarian to support the professional and nonprofessional hospital staff, and to assist with the development of education programs. To answer this need, the Cleveland Health Sciences Library has developed the "circuit rider librarian" concept. A designated librarian from the staff visits a group of hospitals and, for a fee, provides library service which the hospital could not or would not readily supply for itself. The only limitations on the expansion of such a program are the interest of the hospitals, their geographic proximity to each other and to the resource library, and the ability of the latter to handle the increased demand.
许多医院无法维持一名全职甚至半职的专业图书管理员来为医院的专业和非专业工作人员提供支持，并协助开展教育项目。为满足这一需求，克利夫兰健康科学图书馆提出了“巡回图书管理员”的概念。一名指定的图书馆工作人员会走访一批医院，并收取一定费用，提供这些医院自身无法或不愿轻易提供的图书馆服务。此类项目扩展的唯一限制在于医院的兴趣、它们彼此之间以及与资源图书馆的地理距离，以及后者处理增加需求的能力。
