In response to an increasing concern on the part of the library staff over the role of the departmental libraries at The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center of The Pennsylvania State University, a questionnaire was developed by the George T. Harrel Library and sent to departmental libraries. From the analyzed responses, the authors were able to define the role of departmental libraries in a medical school/hospital situation, to analyze the Hershey Medical Center situation in an objective manner, to outline areas of possible cooperation between the main and departmental libraries, and to delineate some trends which appear to result from inadequate finding of a central library. Overall, the library found that departmental libraries at Hershey are currently maintaining collections consistent with the functional role of a departmental library.
针对宾夕法尼亚州立大学米尔顿·S·赫尔希医学中心图书馆工作人员对部门图书馆作用日益增长的关注，乔治·T·哈雷尔图书馆设计了一份问卷并发送给各部门图书馆。通过对回复的分析，作者能够界定部门图书馆在医学院/医院环境中的作用，客观分析赫尔希医学中心的情况，概述主图书馆与部门图书馆之间可能的合作领域，并勾勒出一些似乎因中央图书馆检索不足而产生的趋势。总体而言，图书馆发现赫尔希的部门图书馆目前所维持的馆藏与部门图书馆的功能作用相符。
