Dr. Oliver Obst: Biographical notes
I was born September, 10th 1958 in Mönchengladbach,
Northrhine-Westfalia (Germany) and enjoyed my first school day at
Rheydt-Odenkirchen
in 1965.
After graduating from the secondary school I studied biology
(M.S.) and computer sciences at the RWTH Aachen and the
Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg. My thesis (1984) was about
the host-parasite-interaction between wheat and Puccinia
Graminis. After finishing civil service I confered a doctor's
degree at the
Institute of Physiology/Medical Faculty RWTH Aachen. In the
dissertation (1991) I examined the pathophysiological action
of
the stress hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine on the
heart.
From 1988 til 1993 I organized clinical studies at the "Center
for the early detection and prevention of vascular and
circulation diseases Aachen".
After the dissertation I absolved a study of librarianship at
the
Graduate School of Library & Information Science
Köln.
In my thesis (1993) I

the effects of electronic information on medical libraries,
medical professionals, and their information needs.

Library Münster. My other responsibilities are internet
and
database management, supervisor of the chemical branch
library,
associate head of the central medical library and of the
