Medical School Library

The library is open 24/7.

The Castellani Reading Room provides a quiet study area. There are 6 group study rooms and a group study area inside of the main entrance. There is also a 32 seat computer lab managed by the OMC.

The library is primarily a bring-your-own-device environment. If you have an OMC login and the lab is available, you may use the computers in the computer lab within the library. The lab can be booked using the UB Space Request System. The room number is 955 Mai 2210J.

There is a color printer which is managed by UBIT and OMC. Please refer to the UBIT Printing guide for information about how to send and release your print job. Note that if you print from a computer in the learning lab, you will be printing to the OMC printers on the 6th floor.

There is no scanner in the library. Students may use the scanner in the Computer Lab on the 6th floor of the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences building. There are also scanners available in other non-Jacobs School locations. Please refer to this University Libraries page on scanners for additional information.
