Databases provided by database-vendors are increasingly geared to the needs of endusers. Easy usable user interfaces allow autonomous searching without intermediation by information specialists. Do end-user oriented database offerings constitute a serious competition to library-searches in one-person libraries? This matter will be followed up by means of a survey performed in hospital libraries. The available investigation identifies problems but also opportunities which end-user searches can cause for one-person libraries. Further it serves as a collection of arguments for the continuity of the library.
