Reciprocal Agreements
Collection Access and Computer Use
The Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Library serves as a biomedical information resource first for the University and then for the State of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest region. The collection includes books, journals and reference materials in both print and electronic formats, bibliographic and full-text databases and multimedia in the fields of medicine, dentistry, nursing and the allied health sciences.
