At least since the beginning of digitization of science and society libraries are set under the pressure of competing with their services against the internet and social media. To encounter this competition, the experience and the needs of the users must be the central point of today’s library work. For this purpose two questions should be raised: How do our scientists notice us? What do our users really need? The answers to these questions might show that we will have to reconsider our self-concept as well as our services. Library services should not be designed in terms of “What can we offer?” but rather focus on the needs of the scientists. The services of a library can be aligned to the “research lifecycle”. Which aims and which requirements do the scientists have regarding the information infrastructure during this process and how can we as a library support them in this process. We will examine this question using the example of the strategy of the Robert Koch Institute’s library.
