Low Cost Organization of a Mental Retardation Facility Staff Library.

Payne, Ed

Special Libraries, v76 n1 p11-16 Win 1985

A 700-volume specialized library was organized at average cost per title of less than $1.50 despite lack of personnel and limited funds. A plan was developed to classify titles using Library of Congress and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), and a cataloging service was located to produce card sets and book labels. (EJS)
