- The Health Science Library as an Object of Study. Pings, Vern M. Administration Institutional Environment Librarians Library Services Medical Libraries Models Objectives Use Studies The purpose of this report was to formulate a definition of health science libraries which would allow them to be objects of study. Four general definitions of health science libraries are presented from the viewpoints of: (1) librarians and managers of libraries as institutions, (2) the institutions or administrative units supporting library operations and service, (3) users of library services, and (4) a suprainstitutional organization or concept, the library network or system. The hypothesis proposed is that a health science library can be identified as an object of study only through the institutional setting in which it operates. (CC)
