Survey of medical library services in Germany
Thank you for participating in our survey of medical library services in Germany. Please check with your colleagues that the survey is filled in only once per library.
The results of this survey will be used for an article on German medical libraries in Health Information and Libraries Journal (HILJ). To be in line with HILJ's regular feature "International Perspectives and Initiatives" the focus of the survey is on current developments of medical library services and their uptake in our country. If you have any queries, please contact us!

We very much thank Gerhard Bissels and the Fachhochschule Graubünden for supporting this survey.
There are 25 questions in this survey.
Please state what kind of organisation your library is part of, even if it serves users from other organisations, too!
In case none of the institutional types fits to your organisation, please choose 'Other' and enter the kind of organisation in the text field.
In this section we ask questions about the range of services your library offers to its users.
In cases where another organisational unit of your institution is in charge of a service, please select "other department".
Example: There is a "Department for Research Data Management" separate from your medical library that provides such services.
In cases where a service is clearly not applicable to your institution, please select "not applicable".
Example: Courses within the curriculum of a medical/nursing faculty will usually not be applicable when your library is not affiliated to such a faculty.
Did your library's research support services result in (co-)authorship in peer reviewed publications?
*In this section we ask questions about the number and background of staff at your library.
Please enter the total of posts in Full Time Equivalent, so if you have one 40% and one 80% post, enter 1.2.
Thank you for taking the time to fill in our survey! The article is scheduled to be published in HILJ March 2020 (Vol 37, No 1, March 2020).
