The library offers a variety of training classes to help students perform information research and use the library's electronic resource tools. The library s Learning Resource Center provides many opportunities for self study, allowing students to review material presented in class or enhance their learning with supplemental information. The Learning Resource Center's collection of more than 1,000 audiovisual medical education programs includes videotapes and computer simulations that illustrate correct procedures for taking a medical history, evaluating test results and making diagnoses. In addition to using these resources, students can view hundreds of histology slides. Also, the Learning Resource Center maintains review materials for exams, as well as resource information to help students select elective clerkships and find information on post-graduate residency training opportunities.
Students can review material on their own or with others in the center's study rooms.
The Learning Resource Center s PC and Macintosh computers are available for word processing and the use of medical education software. Internet access is available from computers throughout the Health Sciences Library and Learning Resource Center. Much of the material available through C.A.L.L. has been developed by faculty to complement the curriculum. Students have unlimited access to the lab, where they can conduct research, review material for an exam, write papers, update their CV and also send and retrieve e-mail messages.
