In a medical university library different user groups with special needs can be identified: students, physicians, researchers, nursing and laboratory staff, as well as administration staff. While students continuously make use of the library services on-site, researchers and physicians use or would like to use the electronic resources predominantly from their workplace. The article deals with the problematization, needs assessment and conceptual design of a service model for reaching all potential user groups that can be found in the Library for the Medical Faculty of Mannheim. %K service %K communication strategy %U http://www.egms.de/static/de/journals/mbi/2010-10/mbi000215.shtml
