During the course of its preliminary research, the working group was struck with how the concept of a hospital library differs so in different parts of the world. It found, for example, that in some countries, the term 'hospital library' almost always signified a biomedical/health sciences library, while in others, it usually meant a library providing leisure reading materials for patients. In still other countries, 'hospital library' could signify either a biomedical/health sciences library or a patients' library, with the latter providing leisure reading collections or health information materials or both.
