Why Medical Libraries Matter

Medical libraries support much more than access to books and journals. They help users navigate complex databases, develop effective search strategies, evaluate information quality, locate clinical evidence, support research projects, and use information ethically and responsibly.

Learning

Medical libraries support students, staff and faculty with trusted resources, research and information support, study tools, and evidence-based medicine guidance.

Research

Librarians assist with literature searches, citation management, publication support, research impact tools, and scholarly communication.

Clinical Care

Access to current, reliable clinical information helps support informed decision-making and lifelong learning.

Information Quality

Medical librarians help users evaluate sources, avoid misinformation, and identify authoritative medical information.

At Mercer University School of Medicine

The Mercer Medical Library supports learners, staff and faculty across our campuses by providing access to trusted resources, research assistance, academic and research support, evidence-based medicine tools, and guidance for using information effectively in academic and clinical settings.
