How to Visit

The Health Sciences Library is located in the Magnuson Health Sciences Center, 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.

Screen readers and screen magnification tools are available on all of the PCs, and accessibility kits are available at the information desk. Adjustable-height desks are available on both floors and in one of the study rooms.

On the collaborative third floor, you’ll find large tables for group study and conversation, and the HSL Commons/Library Testing Center.

On the quiet-study second floor, you’ll find comfy couches and low tables, biomedical and health sciences journal and book collections, reservable group study rooms, and interactive displays. Printers and scanners are available for use.

To get to health sciences research databases and online books and journals, see the Health Sciences Research Guide.
