The Library's ability to meet information needs of students, faculty, and other users depends on maintaining a strong collection of books, journals, electronic information resources, and computer equipment.

The average price of health science journals is increasing annually at double-digit rates. Electronic resources are essential to library users, but they are expensive and complex to manage.

Despite substantial Health Science Center administrative support, the cost of maintaining a quality collection and excellent information services is outpacing the state funding currently available.

The generosity of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends can provide critical resources for the Library and help sustain the excellence of the Library's access to health sciences information.
