How to Visit

The Health Sciences Library is located in the Magnuson Health Sciences Center, about a 10-minute walk or roll from central campus. The main entrance is on the third floor of the “T” wing and is accessible by stair or elevator. This library serves undergraduates, graduate students, staff, and faculty in the health sciences disciplines, including the Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, and Social Work.

The Health Sciences Library is a study and learning center, and its collection includes hundreds of online research databases, thousands of print and electronic books and journals related to the biomedical and health sciences, clinical reference tools, and evidence-based healthcare resources.

This library has spaces for all students to gather to study and learn. There are lots of reading tables and easy access to digital toolkits and research guides from various PCs located in the library.

On the collaborative third floor, you’ll find large tables for group study and conversation.

On the quiet-study second floor, you’ll find comfy couches and low tables, reading tables for focused study, the biomedical and health sciences journal and book collections, reservable group study rooms, and interactive displays. In addition, printers and scanners are available for use. Plug in your phone at a charging station, refill your water bottle, and settle in to study!
