Health System Growth and the Effects on Academic Libraries - A Pilot Study

: Qualitative focus groups totaling 3 directors and 1 delegate occurred.. The focus groups was over Zoom and were not recorded but the facilitator documented the data shared. The research was analyzed for common denominators and to look at whether a larger study should be undertaken. This research is important to academic library leaders that need to adhere to resource contracts and balance budgets but as well to liaisons who are in the tough position of having to evaluate who they can help and what they can do within the agreements set forth by such institutions. The Association of Academic Health Science Libraries (AAHSL) currently has a task force looking at best practices for libraries in growing health systems and agreed this pilot study was complementary to their work and not duplicate.
