About & Hours
The Health Library is located on the first floor near the main entrance of the Health Professions Building in room HB 101. It provides on-site access to health- and medicine-specific research materials and services for students, clinicians, and researchers in fields of medical and health science-related study including nursing, nutrition, audiology, speech pathology, social work, and counseling psychology.
The Health Library also provides access to a full-service circulation point; users may return and renew most library materials from any University Libraries location, pick up books on hold/recalled materials, and check on account information. There are also two study rooms for study groups, meetings, or individual study. Study Room B (ie the one with the windows) may be reserved through our Open Room Reservation system during business hours.
