Here is a brief overview of how the library can help you with your research and clinical decision making.

• The library provides electronic access to numerous books, journals, and evidence-based, clinical support tools. 
   
• The library also provides a small collection of print journals and books. Print books may be checked out, and topics include health sciences and leadership. 
  • Find print books in the library by visiting our home page and selecting "Find Library Resources in Print."
     
• Electronic catalogs found on the library’s website allow you to search our print and electronic books and journals right from your computer or mobile device.
  • Find eJournals by visiting our home page and selecting "Find a Journal."
  • Find eBooks by visiting our home page and selecting "Find eBooks."
     
• The library at James Street has computers with Microsoft Office applications and access to LGH applications, a black and white printer, and a scanner/copier/fax you may use. Physicians may access the library outside of regular hours; ask security for access.
   
• Librarians can help you refine your search topic, develop your search terms, and navigate our databases. We have also developed a guide to help you perform your own literature searches: http://pacollege.libguides.com/literaturesearches
  ​
• Librarians can provide individual or department training on our resources either at the library or at your location. We will gladly come to you or arrange virtual training.
   
• Our interlibrary loan system allows us to order articles from other libraries for you; this can be done at no charge to you.
