Description:	My real name is Jacqueline. Married w/2 daughters, 9 and 14 years old. In a previous live, I studied Medical Biology and worked as a scientist (PhD 1990). In between several PhD-jobs, I followed a post-doc course documentary information science (1994-1995) and worked as an information specialist in a pharmaceutical company. Since 3 years I have a permanent job (my first!) as a medical information specialist at the Academical Medical Center (AMC) in Amsterdam. Each working day I bike 10 km to-and-fro the AMC via the polder. -to keep me in shape. My work is split 75%-25% between two jobs: one as a clinical librarian in the Medical Library and one as a Trial Search Coordinator (TSC) for the Dutch Cochrane Centre. As a clinical librarian (depts Gynaecology/obstetrics, Dermatology, Otolaryngology, and Eye Diseases) I’m involved in developing courses (also in the curriculum), teaching & searching. As a TSC I assist authors writing a systematic review, coordinate handsearches and am involved in courses and projects. The jobs, however, are not strictly separated: the Medical Library and the Dutch Cochrane Centre cooperate very closely to promote evidence based practice.
