A qualitative study about collaboration between librarians and nurses in the supplying of consumer health information (CHI) at The Hospital Library of The Mölndal Hospital in Mölndal near Gothenburg, Sweden. The staff were interviewed about how their work is affected by the collaboration between the two occupational groups. The purpose of the study is to find out if there exists a struggle between the groups about the influence on and the control over the handling of this kind of information. Despite some problems with the permission to do as many interviews as needed, the study shows some positive effects with the collaboration. The study gives a short background to the development of CHI services in USA, the UK, Denmark and Sweden. Four further CHI service centres in Sweden are shortly presented and one member of each staff was interviewed by telephone.
