Check Out Our E-Books!

Increasingly our patrons are using e-books for quick lookups and clinical information, and this preference is increasing across all user groups. As a result, we have been building a diverse and substantial collection of core medical texts in electronic format. Statistics suggest that these resources are used frequently.

	We have several e-book packages that are worth checking out. Through MDConsult, we subscribe to such titles as Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, Miller's Anesthesia, and Sabiston Textbook of Surgery.
	Rittenhouse's R2 offers Essentials of Clinical Geriatrics, Hurst's The Heart, and other titles.
	Books@Ovid provides some of the most heavily used nursing titles including Lippincott Manual of Nursing Practice and Nursing Care Plans & Documentation: Nursing Diagnoses and Collaborative Problems.
	Recently, we added a few titles from the STAT!Ref library. Users can choose from several core titles including Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine and Schwartz's Principles of Surgery.
