The Kornhauser Health Sciences Library supports the Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing and Public Health and Information Sciences. With its 250,000 volume collection, it is a significant resource for the medical community extending beyond Louisville to the western half of Kentucky. Kornhauser Library is the largest and oldest health sciences library in Kentucky.
The library provides access to biomedical databases, electronic texts and journals, and other health sciences-related information on and off campus. Kornhauser librarians are directly involved in several clinical departments, where they develop and teach evidence-based practice curricula for medical students and residency programs; participate in morning report, journal club, case conferences and grand rounds; and provide literature searches for faculty in support of patient care and research.
