The Spanish Information and Documentation Workshops in the Health Sciences (JEIDCS) have been (and still are) a meeting point for the professionals to share experiences and expectations to meet the challenges of the Knowledge Society. From 1986 to 2001, nince worshops have been held. (Total of papers presented: 336. Total of authors involved: 356, Total of centres represented: 240.)
This article analyses the scientific output from the papers presented during nine editions of JEIDCS. To this end, a bibliometric and bibliographical analysis has been carried out to examine indexes and thematic associations, authors and works in collaboration, scientific output quality, output by autonomous regions and place of work and evolutionary analysis of preferred topics.
The information sources used consist of the proceedings published for each one of the workshops held and the CD-ROM of the proceedings of the nine workshops published by the Institute of Health "Carlos III".
The analysis of the different indicators and the exploitation of data were performed using the bibliographical software "ProCite" and the DBMS "MS-Access", and STATGRAPHICS Plus.
The most outstanding conclusion being that the professionals from the Spanish biological and medical libraries taking part in the workshops were very aware both of the importance of the new information and communications technologies and the need to develop strategies to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of library services in the new technological environment.
