UBC Library is working with the Faculty of Medicine to explore a new service delivery model for the St. Paul’s Hospital Library and Hamber Library (at the Oak Street Site of BC Children’s Hospital and BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre). Over the next month, a working group with representatives from the Faculty of Medicine and UBC Library will begin consultation with staff, faculty and students, featuring a survey, focus groups and in-person meetings with identified stakeholder groups including the health authorities. The recommendations from the working group are expected in early September.
UBC faculty, student and non-Library UBC staff members who use the Biomedical Branch, Hamber and St. Paul’s hospital libraries are invited to participate in the UBC Hospital Libraries Usage Survey.
