We’ve all known and loved the Bio-Medical Library since it first opened in Diehl Hall in 1960.

Sixty years will have passed by the time we move into our new home in the Health Sciences Education Center.  

When we make this move, we will also make an important change to our name. The Bio-Medical Library will become the Health Sciences Library to better reflect our work to support teaching and learning across all the schools and colleges of the Academic Health Center.  

While our name change will not be official for some time, you will likely be seeing Bio-Medical Library and Health Sciences Library used interchangeably over the next year. Thanks for your patience while we are in-between names.
