Strengthening the Future of Health Science Librarianship:

In the evolving landscape of Irish health science libraries, librarians increasingly expand their roles beyond traditional resource management. Coaching and mentoring, distinct but complementary disciplines, offer invaluable support for professional development, leadership growth, and for navigating the growing complexities of library services. Through structured guidance, experience-sharing, and role-modelling, they foster continuous learning, career advancement, and a strong professional network, ensuring librarians remain adaptable, resourceful, and effective.
