WVSOM Library

The WVSOM Library is a state of the art facility with extensive traditional and electronic resources. The library's collection of books (over 17,000), journals (over 450) and multimedia (over 2,000) titles provide the most current resources available for the osteopathic medical student and graduate. Of note are the library's special holdings of osteopathic materials including historic items.

The WVSOM Library online catalog, in addition to containing the book and journal collection, also has a unique index of osteopathic journal titles that reference over 22,000 articles in the collection. All of the items in the online catalog can be requested on-line using the Patron Request feature.

The WVSOM Library collection is fully automated with numerous electronic resources. The library subscribes to full-text databases that include E-Journals and E-Texts, both popular with our medical students. The library's collection is also linked to the National Medical Library to facilitate Pubmed literature searches. The WVSOM Library has been commended for the accessibility of its resources electronically from rural isolated areas.

The WVSOM Library offers a full range of services including Medline and Pubmed literature/database searches, Inter Library Loan requests and traditional book and journal resources to provide for any medical information need. The facility also contains student study areas, computer workstations, photocopiers, and 24 hour study areas for its patrons.
