About This Item
TS 12338 is a standard addressing criteria for how library services in hospitals are organised, operated, and supervised. In a hospital setting, the library is a support function for clinical and administrative work, and this standard focuses on the management and oversight of that service.
The role of a hospital library
In general technical terms, a hospital library is concerned with collecting, classifying, making available, and maintaining up-to-date access to information resources such as medical books, periodicals, guidelines, and related reference materials. It supports clinicians, nurses, administrators, and other staff by improving access to reliable information within the institution.
What this standard covers
- Organisation of hospital library services
- Operation of the services
- Supervision and control of the services
- Managerial aspects of delivering information services in a hospital
The standard addresses the criteria for arranging library services rather than describing every practical library procedure in detail. Any specifics on cataloguing, staffing, collection development, or user training should be understood only to the extent they appear in the standard itself. As a result, the document provides an institutional framework for treating the hospital library as a defined service area with an emphasis on quality and continuity.
