Abstract
Fee-based services may influence, both subtly and dramatically, the operation of a medical library. Fears that have been raised about the consequences of fee-based services are recalled and applied to the context of medical librarianship. Specifically covered are the effects of fee-based services on service to traditional user groups, collection development, interlibrary cooperation, and management style. The discussion includes references to the program of fee-based services offered by the New York Academy of Medicine Library.
