WVSOM Library supports the curricular and life-long learning resources of WVSOM students, faculty, alumni, and staff, as well as the MSOPTI residents and MSOPTI preceptors.  To this end, WVSOM collections include print and electronic resources, course reserves, CME materials, and study/learning areas.  Additionally, our mission is to provide remote access to electronic resources to ensure adequate and timely delivery of information to all students and residents as they move through their internships and rotations, as well as to supplement existing core print collections throughout rotation sites as needed to adequately support curricular functions and increase clinical knowledge.

The WVSOM Library collection consists of over 33,000 items, including 150 print journals, and access to over 8,000 full-text e-journals.  Of special note is the osteopathic history collection and a unique index of over 23,000 osteopathic articles, both of which can be located using Athena, the on-line card catalog.  The library also has student study areas (including the 24/7study area), a bookable conference room for faculty/staff use, computer workstations, and a photocopier and scanner. 

WVSOM Library Staff offers assistance with a wide-range of services, including but not limited to inter library loan (ILL) services, reference services, search/research assistance, workshops on medical and information resources, and one-on-one assistance as needed. 

The WVSOM Library is accessible to persons with disabilities and special needs citizens.  WVSOM Library staff is available for assistance as needed by all patrons.  A phone for the hearing impaired is also available for use at the circulation desk upon request.
