Journal of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Medizinisches Bibliothekswesen now online

Since 23. 09. 2005 selected articles from the print version of "medizin - bibliothek - information" are published online on the gms internet platform. The journal publishes information, communication and papers of the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Medizinisches Bibliothekswesen" (AGMB). This is the biggest association of medical librarians in Germany with about 500 institutional members comprising medical university libraries, hospital libraries and pharmaceutical company libraries.
The journal was launched in 2001 with a frequency of three issues per year. From 2006 onward it will be published electronic-only as "GMS Medizin - Bibliothek - Information". It covers subjects from the field of librarianship to information technology with a strong focus on topics relevant to medical libraries. As before and well-established each issue will feature a particular theme.
Dorothee Boeckh (AGMB's chairwoman) und Bruno Bauer (chief editor since 2002) welcome contributions and papers in German or English for publication in "GMS Medizin - Bibliothek - Information".
