Health Science Library

The Atlantic Health System libraries provide services in support of patient care, evidence-based practice, continuing education, research, and provide consumer health information to patients, families, and visitors through its CLIP service.  The library collections are broadly available as digital resources continue to dominate as the preferred method of access by our users.  Our libraries offer a full range of information services including MEDLINE searching along with substantial collection of 69 medical databases, 13400 textbooks and 12726 journals in electronic and print format. Document delivery and interlibrary loan services are also available at no charge. Library staff can provide one-on-one or group user education on any of our databases.

Mobile apps to clinical support tools like UpToDate, ClinicalKey or Lexicomp that provide evidence to help clinicians make informed patient-care decisions are also available. The libraries provide 24/7 access to library e-resources from anywhere via the OpenAthens portal.  Morristown Medical Center and Overlook Medical Center have physical libraries staffed by professional librarians who provide many services including but not limited to answering reference questions, interlibrary loan, bibliographic searches, and classes in how to search.  All team members have 24/7 access to the libraries which provide Internet access, many workstations, copy machines, conference room and study carrels/rooms.
