The library uses the National Library of Medicine's classification scheme. A map of the library is also available to assist patrons to physically locate materials. Audiovisuals may be borrowed for one week at a time. Borrowers assume financial liability for any materials not returned to the library. Failure to return materials on a timely basis may result in suspension of borrowing privileges.
Assistance is provided in locating factual and bibliographic information.
The library also provides user education programs, orientations, and tours. Patrons may request computerized literature searches for hospital-related information. This includes information for direct patient care, inservices, and administrative health care issues. Literature searches needed for urgent patient care issues or urgent administrative issues receive top priority. Access to these databases is available at no charge to hospital-affiliated physicians.
