Most of our print collections have been converted into an electronic format, enabling users to access material remotely and from all three campuses. Each library maintains small print and reserve collections to support its campus programs.
Through its combined print and electronic collections, the libraries maintain research-level collections in pharmacy and drug information, as well as core collections in pharmaceutical sciences, clinical medicine, nursing and the allied health sciences.
Our current collection includes:

- More than 75,000 e-books
Students, faculty and staff have additional access to:
