Working Through the Effects of Healthcare Trends on the Library

Rittenhouse is working to provide solutions to meeting the ever-changing collection management challenge due to Covid-19: ensuring healthcare equity, clinical burnout and providing telehealth options for patients. We surveyed our librarian partners and know that the biggest challenges faced today with collection management include declining budgets, loss of library space, transiting from print to electronic resources, and reduction in staff.

There are a variety of free tools and services available through Rittenhouse to help librarians overcome these challenges while supporting the needs of their patrons.
