Description
Summary:	This article gives an overview of the state of medical libraries in Germany and selected developments of their services supporting evidence-based medicine in research, education and clinical practice. Findings from an online survey and issues of access to health information are discussed with reference to the German health care system.

New library services provided by many German health sciences libraries, especially those supporting evidence-based medicine, are experiencing increasing take-up.
