Background of the study: Improving the quality of education and research in higher education institutions requires a deep understanding of the different information needs of students, lecturers, and educational staff. Lecturers need information to fulfill their learning materials and support their performance. Students need reading material to support their lectures. Educational staff have information needs to complete the work tasks they are responsible for. Purpose: This research aims to conduct an analysis of scientific information needs at the Gunung Maria Tomohon College of Health Science. Methods: Descriptive research method with a qualitative approach. The sampling technique chosen was Non-Probability Sampling, determining informants using purposive sampling, namely 8 leaders including lectures, 1 educational staff, and 3 students. Data collection techniques through observation, interviews and documentation. The data analysis technique uses the Miles Huberman Model, namely data reduction, data display, data verification and drawing conclusions.

Educational staff need information related to academic administration, class schedules, student services, literature that supports skills development, and seminar information. Students need a collection of printed books, journals and other materials to support completing coursework, and easy access to digital resources and research to support writing their final assignments. The need for scientific information cannot be fully provided by libraries, academics still need internet access to Google Scholar and other institutional databases. Conclusion:The need for the Gunung Maria Tomohon Library to provide an e_repository information system to collect local content collections for academics and provide e_repository services to meet the scientific information needs of lecturers, education staff and students.
