The Health Sciences Library (HSL) is regarded as one of the best equipped in Pakistan and has been recognised by the WHO in 1992 as a training facility. Established in 1983, the Library adds appropriate new titles and updates its collection regularly to enhance students’ education and to make available the latest resource material for the faculty. Its comprehensive collection underpins the programmes of the faculty and students.
The Jivraj section of this Library, intended to be a major repository of health sciences literature, stocks some 25,000 volumes of books/monographs. The Kurji Periodical section currently subscribes to nearly 500 journals in medical, nursing and basic sciences disciplines and holds their bound back runs since 1983 and even earlier. These include access to Health and Education literature databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, ERIC, MDConsult, Mosby’s NursingConsult, UptoDate, The Cochrane Library, EBSCO Host, and HEC’s Digital Library. It also provides access to catalogues and inter-library loan facilities of other leading libraries of the world via the Internet.
