Are you doing medical research? Do you need to track down an article, consult a book, talk to a librarian? The public can search the National Network/Libraries of Medicine members directory to find a library by location or desired service.

See also the MLA’s Resources for Health Consumers for tips on finding reliable health information and the NLM’s MedlinePlus (medlineplus.gov) for more than 700 health topics.
