The following message was released to UBC Library staff and to the Faculty of Medicine faculty and staff through their e-newsletter, The Link.
UBC Library is working with the Faculty to Medicine to explore a new service delivery model for St Paul’s hospital library and the Hamber Library (at BC Children’s’ and Women’s hospital). 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, including a survey, focus groups, and in-person meetings with identified stakeholder groups including the health authorities. The outcomes from the working group are expected in early September.
