HHS Library Services: Overview of Services
There are hospital libraries at the General and Henderson sites. Our hospital library collections include a range of texts, journals and databases which reflect the programs and services at each site. All staff can also access the Health Sciences Library at McMaster University. The libraries are members of the Hamilton & District Network which enable a wide range of resources to be available for Hamilton Health Sciences staff to support clinical, educational, research and patient educational initiatives. To learn more about our libraries, please feel free to drop by or call us at the following extensions: Henderson Library ext. 42009, General Library ext. 44246.
