Anyone may use SRAHEC’s medical library; however, our collection is geared to the needs of students preparing for health professions and to professionals in practice. Much of our material is highly technical. Our collection is not useful for most high school, middle school and elementary students.

What if I need to print or make photocopies?
The library’s printers and photocopiers use copy cards. The copy cards are purchased from a machine for a dollar deposit, and then more money can be added to the card. The customer can either retain the card for further use or turn in the card and receive a refund at the conclusion of their visit.
