We developed our skills mainly “on the job”, and we wondered how other health librarians in Europe were trained to become experts in searching. We had a great opportunity to “job shadow” specialists in this area of library service during a 5-day-internship at the Royal Free Hospital Medical Library in London, Great Britain.enstaff mobility for traininglibrariansErasmusjob-shadowingprofessional development000 - Computer science, knowledge & systems::020 - Library & information sciences600 - Technology::610 - Medicine & health300 - Social sciences, sociology & anthropology::360 - Social problems & social servicesJob-shadowing: Swiss health librarians observing experienced search specialists and information skills trainers in Londonarticle10.7892/boris.80334
