medical libraries
Clinical reference collections
Medical libraries are specialized collections focused on healthcare, medicine, and biomedical sciences.
Found in hospitals, medical schools, and research institutions, they provide clinicians, students, and researchers access to journals, databases, and reference materials.
Medical librarians often assist with literature searches and evidence-based practice: The hospital's medical library subscribes to all the major clinical databases.
