Why is a collection of physical historical books, journals and manuscripts, as the Hagströmer collections, important in our digital world?And how does the Nobel laureates react when they visit the Hagströmer library?Since 2025 the Hagströmer Medico-Historical Library is part of Karolinska Institutet University Library. Planned is also for the collections to move to campus Solna.This is some of what we talk about with&nbsp;Anna Lantz, curator and project manager at the Hagströmer Library,&nbsp;Thomas Perlmann, Professor in Molecular Developmental Biology, and Secretary of Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine and&nbsp;Sven Hagströmer, chair of the friends association at the Hagströmer Library.

“10 minutes of your time can make both funders, and local as well as international collaborators find you&nbsp; –&nbsp; instead of them choosing someone else.”&nbsp; KI RIMS is not just another admin system but a system with a purpose to collect, improve and make the information about KI's research available. It gathers data on publications and research grants, and researchers can then use the compiled information to, for example, generate their CV and publication list. In this episode we discuss why you should take ten minutes to make sure your profile page mirrors you and the research you do. We hear Rose-Marie Karlsson, Grants Office, Johan Lundström, Professor of psychology, Catharina Rehn, Product manager and Katarina Amcoff at the University Library – all four at Karolinska Institutet.A special thank you to Caroline Myrberg and Malin Essén, at KIB, for background information.

In this episode we take a closer look at open science, why it matters, and how it can help us meet some of the major challenges facing research today. With growing concerns about research funding, especially recent cuts in the US that may affect core scientific infrastructure, the need for openness, collaboration, and resilient research practices has never been greater. Joining this conversation are Lina Waltin, librarian at Karolinska Institutet University Library, Patrik Magnusson, senior researcher and the chair of the Open Science Working Group at Karolinska Institutet and also the director of the Swedish Twin Registry and Lars Nordesjö, the head of publication infrastructure and media at KTH library. Together, they explore what open science means in practice, its benefits, the challenges it brings, and what the future might hold. Special thanks also to Erik Åkesson Kågedal, librarian at Karolinska Institutet University Library for his help in providing background information for this section.

KI Professor Anna Mia Ekström joins the KIB podcast for a conversation about the Face of AIDS Film Archive and the global HIV epidemic. "One thing that struck me when I recently went through clips from the archive is the amazing commitment of the activists," says Anna Mia, "it was young people and people living with HIV, but also mothers, researchers, doctors, Nobel laureates, monks&nbsp;– everyone was involved in the fight against the virus in the 80s and 90s, they really made their voices heard. We don't see that today, it's silent&nbsp;– and we know that silence kills." The KIB podcast is produced by Karolinska Institutet University Library. Among colleagues, sometimes with a guest, we tackle topics related to the scientific publishing landscape, research infrastructure and other issues a university library is passionate about.

I pilotavsnittet av KIB-podden (som är på svenska) träffar vi Wim Grooten, docent, forskare och lektor på Karolinska Institutet (KI). Vi pratar om systematiska översikter, en form av litteraturöversikt som eftersträvar att sammanställa all tillgänglig forskning eller evidens inom ett avgränsat område utifrån en specifik metodologi.&nbsp; <ul><li>Vad är svårast med att skriva systematisk översikt?</li><li>Kan AI användas i processen?</li><li>Glöm inte ditt PICO!</li></ul> KIB-podden är producerad av Karolinska Institutet Universitetsbiblioteket. Kollegor emellan, ibland med en gäst, tar vi oss an ämnen som rör det vetenskapliga publiceringslandskapet, forskningens infrastruktur och andra frågor ett universitetsbibliotek brinner för.
