✦ Synopsis

The perception of change so often differs from the reality. This article traces the effect on one hospital library of some of the major changes within the NHS during the past 10 years. It explores the importance of external factors such as location and proximity to other professional groups and questions the survival of the multi disciplinary hospital library.
