Description
The Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences, established in 1945, is the largest biomedical library in Alabama and one of the leading such libraries in the South. It serves as a Resource Library in the National Network of Libraries of Medicine for the Southeast/Atlantic region. Its collections span seven centuries of knowledge beginning with the 30 incunabula within the thirteen thousand old and rare books to approximately 1500 current print journal subscriptions and thousands of electronic subscriptions through both individual publisher arrangements, aggregated packages, and consortial agreements. The volumes of books, bound journals, microforms, and other media currently held total approximately 350,000 volumes. The building extension and room number for the different major departments can be located in this directory. Further information on the library's location, nearby parking, etc., is available.
A statement of the Library's mission and goals, a brief summary of library statistics from the Library's annual reports, a short historical timeline, and brief biography of Senator Lister Hill are all available by following the links in this section.
A Virtual Tour of the building is available. The present structure, built in 1971, underwent a major expansion and renovation project in 1997. A web photo album of the project and dedication activities is available.
