2.2 Advisory committees
An advisory committee representing users of the resource centre can help to
ensure that the resource centre meets users’ needs. A small, hospital-based
resource centre could draw on hospital staff; a community-based resource centre
has more varied sets of users to represent.
It is advisable to establish a committee with about five to ten people. The people
should volunteer their time, but should be offered reimbursement of any
travelling expenses.
The committee needs clear roles and responsibilities (see Section 2.2.1).
