The Dana Health Sciences Library serves the biomedical and health sciences needs of the UVM community and the UVM Medical Center with print and electronic books, journals, and databases.  We also offer a variety of other items, from anatomical models to board games.

Search CATQuest to explore Dana's books & journals. You'll find some books on-site in our North Study and Book Stacks area. You'll have to request other print volumes from our Library Research Annex.
