    Health libraries have been established as publication support services. Despite its importance, there is currently no study about the services that these centers offer. The aim of this work is to understand the role that libraries play in institutional scientific publishing policies. The sample was taken from the National Catalogue of Hospitals, the list of libraries of the Catalogue of Periodicals in Spanish Health Sciences Libraries (c17) and the National Catalogue of Health Sciences Publications (CNCS). Subsequently, virtual health libraries have also been incorporated. From this list, a questionnaire about library staff and activities related to publication process was sent. We obtained a participation rate of 61.21%. The average number of technical personnel was 1.15 in virtual libraries and 0.81 in hospital libraries. The activities carried out have been: training activities (82.2%), counselling (90.1%), dissemination (30.7%) and evaluation (50.5%). The staff in libraries are insufficient. In many cases technicians assume an overwork of serving in both (virtual and hospital libraries). Most libraries offer training and research support services although there are differences between virtual and hospital ones. There is a relationship between the number of technicians and the publication support services

    Proposal of a professional profile of the librarian/information scientist specialized in health sciences. In 2017 BiblioMadsalud held a working day from which emerged the proposal to create a permanent Working Group, #BiblioRHRH, whose main objective is the development of a professional profile for the need to adequately define the functions and skills of our profession, identifying areas of application in continuous changing. The most common problem in our field is that the figure of the health sciences librarian is not well defined. It means that jobs and competitive applications do not correspond to the specific professional librarian competencies and, therefore, with the skills, knowledge and mastery of the tools required to offer complete and high quality profesional librarian services. We take the document Professional Profiles of the Consejo de Cooperación Bibliotecaria as a reference and we’re working on the Health Sciences 3 Librarian profile elaboration, given that the publication allows the possibility of creating more specific and updated profiles. The aim of this paper is to present the Health Sciences Librarian profile elaborated by the BiblioMadSalud #BiblioRRHH Working Group

    The library of Hospital de Fuenlabrada subscribed UpToDate in June of 2004 (on site license, with no limit set on the number of simultaneous users). After more than one year of experience, the results of usage are presented, not only quantitatively but also qualitatively, for this main tool that provides support to the hospital’s doctors in searching clinical information. UTD saves time and improves the attention given to patients thanks to its fast access and user-friendly interface. It also helps the physicians to keep up to date and they have a high degree of confidence in it. More training is needed in order for users to take greater advantage of the features offered by UTD. A subscription to the online version is recommended for hospital libraries, since it allows doctors to consult it from their offices
