It has also been observed that the research conducted between informational skills of Medical Library Association and the subjects proposed for the training of professionals to work in the Brazilian Medical Libraries presents a similarity between items compared. Moreover, the Brazilian medical library in is moving towards a scenario of recognition by health professionals, due to the collaboration of medical-librarians, in the provision of information that may support the doctors facing a decision, and the students and teachers of the medical field about their informational needs.

Entretanto, notou-se, que existe pouca oferta de cursos para bibliotec?rios-m?dicos se aperfei?oarem e/ou especializarem na ?rea m?dica.

The aim of this thesis is to explore medical librarians information practice in a pedagogical context. The empirical material was produced by 6 semi-structured interviews at 5 different hospital libraries during April and March 2023. A practice-oriented approach was used by the theoretical lens of Social Practice by Shove, Pantzar and Watson. In the analysis it was thematised by the practice elements material, competences and meanings. The findings show that medical librarians informationpractice in a pedagogical context work with many different materials and have competences that are of importance for students, hospital staff and researchers. They adapt their teaching and guidance for the user and their level. The different meanings that the medical libraries user and organization put on the medical library and their services has an impact on their ability to reach more of their users and their development.
