About the Journal
“Medical Library Forum” (MLF) is a peer-reviewed academic journal, issued semi-annually by the Medical University of Warsaw since December 2018. The idea of creating the journal emerged during the 25th Problem Conference of Medical Libraries, taking place from 12th to 14th of June, 2006 in Lublin-Kazimierz Dolny. "MLF’s" first publisher was the Medical University of Łódź, which issued the journal both online and in print. Nowadays, "MLF" is published only in digital form. Starting in 2018, all articles are published under the standardised Creative Commons licence BY-NC-ND -- a model that is free for both authors and readers (diamond open access).
“Medical Library Forum” aims to preserve the academic work of the libraries of medical universities and related institutions. Its main objective is to create a forum for exchanging ideas, experience, and solutions established in specific institutions, as well as advancing academic librarianship -– not just in the medical field.

Dear Readers,
We invite to you to read the latest issue of “Medical Library Forum”, which is dedicated to various aspects of everyday functioning of modern academic libraries. In this issue, you will find articles discussing the library’s participation in implementing the university’s sustainable development strategy, the influence of AI on the academic community, an acquisition strategy focused on the needs of users, and the scientific and social activities of libraries.
We hope that the topics presented here will serve not only as a source of knowledge and inspiration, but also an encouragement to further discuss, on the pages of MLF, the directions of development of academic libraries and the role of librarians in the dynamically changing academic and informational community.
Wishing you an inspiring read – The MLF Editorial Team.
