Online Portal to Library Resources for Undergrad Medicine

The Kellogg Library is pleased to announce a new online portal to library resources for undergraduate medicine. This portal is designed and maintained by librarians at the Kellogg to assist students in beginning their research on a variety of learning issues.

Intended as a jumping-off point for library resources, the guide provides quick, easy, one-stop access to a variety of resources such as databases and electronic books. It is arranged by year, then by unit and subject-specific resources are featured for each. The guide also features instant messaging access to a librarian who can assist you.

We hope the guide will provide more user-friendly access to the multitude of resources available from the library, as well as a direct link to our staff. In order to make it a success, we need your input. Each page of the guide features a user feedback box which is completely anonymous and goes directly to a librarian. Contact options including instant messaging, email and Facebook are also listed on the guide.
