UC Libraries Provide Library Service to UC Health

An agreement between UC Health and the University of Cincinnati provides all employees of UC Health access to health sciences and research-level library collections and services through UC's Donald C. Harrison Health Sciences Library, which includes:

• 800+ online databases.
• 30,000+ health sciences e-books and 149,000+ total e-books.
• 200,000+ print volumes on site.
• Point-of-care resources including MD Consult and DynaMed.
• Evidence-based resources including ACP Journal Club, ACP Pier, and Cochrane Library.
• Patient-education resources from McGraw Hill's Access Series, Medline Plus, MD Consult, and more.
• A suite of nursing reference tools.

In addition to the health sciences specific resources, UC Health employees also have access to the entire UC Libraries' collection of over 4.2 million volumes, as well as the over 46 million items found in OhioLINK (90 academic and public libraries in Ohio).

Library services provided to UC Health employees include full access to electronic resources, borrowing privileges at all UC Libraries, personalized reference service from health sciences librarians, a Web portal optimized for viewing library resources on mobile devices, document delivery and more.

To access library resources and services, UC Health employees must register online at http://guides.libraries.uc.edu/uchealth. This website also serves as UC Health employees' gateway to the information resources and services provided by the Health Sciences Library and UC Libraries. Since the agreement launched in November, already 124 UC Health employees have signed up to receive library service.
