All other persons are welcome to use library services within the building unless the library is under restricted access. Just stop by the circulation desk anytime and present your AMC ID card. A library card will be issued within minutes. The reserve collection consists of books, articles, computer programs and multi-media materials that are available for shorter loan periods in order to insure their availability for all library users. Loan periods for reserve items may be for two hours or overnight.
Instructors frequently place materials on reserve in order to assure equal access to their students.
Librarians at the reference desk on the first floor help library users find answers to questions, conduct research and use library resources. Several electronic databases stored on CD-ROM are available for searching on workstations on the 1st and 5th floors of the library. These bibliographic databases index the literature in the biomedical field and related disciplines. In addition, the library has many programs devoted to computer-aided instruction, interactive reference, and diagnostics. The library has one computer on the first floor with Internet access.
