Since 2018 Dietrich Rebholz-Schuhmann is scientific director of ZB MED – Information Centre for Life Sciences. In this interview he speaks on his motivation for assuming that task and informs about his aims. By intensifying ZB MED's research activities, the re-admission into the Leibniz Association should be made possible. The scientific priorities at ZB MED are set by professorships at the University of Cologne, the Technical University of Cologne, the University of Bonn and in future also at the University of Bielefeld. Important offers from ZB MED are services to the life science community and support of open science. For this ZB MED has developed a number of collaborations, notably with the Bielefeld Institute for Bioinformatics (BIBI). Furthermore, the interview informs about the support of AGMB by ZB MED and the perspective of ZB MED for the coming years. Finally Rebholz-Schuhmann gives his opinion on the future of libraries, which he sees as decisive players in the information society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
