The document compares the libraries of four institutions - The Commonwealth Medical School, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Florida State University, and University of Arizona, Phoenix. For each library, it outlines their planning, collections, facilities/space, challenges, key drivers/priorities, staffing, and partnerships. The Florida State University library section notes it began renovations in the 1990s, opened in 2006, and added a new education building in 2013, with aims for a highly curriculum-tailored digital library and collaborative spaces.

Objective: We will examine how changes over the past 5 years have affected the development of four, newlyopened 21st century medical libraries. We will describe and contrast our missions, visions and key priorities. Key priorities will focus on our libraries' collections, services, physical facilities, staffing, partnerships, interprofessionalism and distributed medical education. We will also address how evolving curricula influence the delivery of library services. Methods: We will compare planning efforts and reflect on lessons learned. We will discuss the fundamental ways that medical libraries have changed over the past 10 years, as a result of technology and innovations in medical school curricula. Since content is the focal point of modern library practice, the challenges that are typically addressed in library plans must be reframed. For instance, budgets, collections, physical space and staff are all interdependent resources that revolve around frequent changes in e-resources licensing and delivery methods. New medical libraries have opportunities to fast-track the more time-consuming and complex aspects of library planning because they have little or no organizational history or vast financial resources already allocated. A key question is: "How would we approach this challenge if we were to start anew, with no baggage and no preconceptions?"

Other factors that must be taken into consideration in the planning process include changes in the medical school curricula, organizational partnerships, information technology support and budgetary constraints. As well, concepts such as interprofessional education, distributed medical education and the evaluation and application of new technologies, must be factored in to the planning process. External and national environmental changes, including economics, health policy and education philosophies are ever-evolving and library planners must be willing and able to be flexible.
