The aim of our study is to find out Finnish health information professionals&#39; views and expectations on European cooperation within the framework of EAHIL. The results could be used to share best practices in an open learning environment. Methods. A web-based semi-structured questionnaire will be sent to BMF members (totally about 100 Finnish health information professionals). It includes questions on five themes, such as sharing teaching materials, marketing library services, co-operation with library schools (continuing education for information professionals) and professional peer support. Results and Conclusions. Based on the results suggestions and action plans for the European professional cooperation in EAHIL will be made.

Reducing library space can promote the shift from storage of print-collections towards a learning-centre without limiting the access to information

Libraries become learning centres, providing more space for customers and less for stacks. Though information seeking habits have changed, especially students need places for studying and group work. In the case of Kuopio University Hospital Medical Library the shift has been influenced by space requirements for other hospital functions. The reduction of current physical space has led to revised collection policy that is now taking its final steps when the library is preparing to move to a new space. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – First, a 650 m2 library space was remodelled to a 450 m2 without major negative effects on services. Second, the hospital has assigned the medical library a new location where a new library space and learning centre will be renovated. Less space for print collections means that reliable delivery from print resources is cruc...

Often the libraries of academic institutions are eager to participate. The level of participation can vary from simply sharing knowledge about the week to, for example, organising events. In 2021, the University of Eastern Finland library decided to put more effort to the week than before, since it has a role as an active promoter of open science.

The paper is a follow-up study of my paper on the possibilities of horizontal career development and the changing roles of librarians, presented year 2006 in the 10th European Conference of Medical and Health Libraries in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Methods The study is based on interviews and a questionnaire, and compares the results three years ago and now. It takes a look on what has been going on since autumn 2005 concerning task rotation and national or international career mobility as means and possibilities in horizontal career development in Kuopio University Library. The subject is then discussed in reflection to the literature on the subject.

Trois bibliothèques européennes de sciences médicales et de la santé ont entamé en 2013 un projet de benchmarking. Ce projet a pour objectif de comparer les services proposés par les bibliothèques, de permettre aux participantes d&#39;apprendre les unes des autres et de dégager de bonnes pratiques. Cet article présente un point d&#39;étape du projet, il rapporte les expériences et discute les défis et les opportunités d&#39;un benchmarking international pour les bibliothèques. Il décrit concrètement cette coopération, les moyens et les outils de communication, la manière dont le projet a été documenté et son déroulement. Internationale samenwerking is een belangrijk deel van het werk van medische bibliothecarissen en van informatieprofessio-nals in het algemeen. Drie Europese bibliotheken van medische en gezondheidswetenschappen zijn in 2013 met een benchmar-king project begonnen. Dit project heeft tot doel de diensten die door bibliotheken aangeboden worden te vergelijken, om de deelnemers in staat te stellen van elkaar te leren en om goede praktijken te identificeren. Deze paper is een voortgangsrapport van het project, waarin ervaringen worden gerapporteerd en uitdagingen en kansen van een internationale benchmarking voor bi-bliotheken worden bediscussieerd. Het beschrijft in het bijzonder de samenwerking, de middelen en gereedschappen die werden benut om te communiceren, de manier waarop het project werd gedocumenteerd en de ontwikkeling van het project.
