Consultations: Biomedical/Medical Center Libraries

The Biomedical and Medical Center Libraries offer free consultation services to UCSD faculty, staff, and students, including those affiliated with the School of Medicine, the Department of Biology, the UCSD Medical Center, Thornton Hospital and other satellite clinical sites.

Consults can be arranged for individuals, groups or classes, and can be held at the Biomedical or Medical Center library or at your office, classroom, or laboratory.  Please note: while we can help find and recommend solutions for particular Internet or database-specific problems, library staff cannot install software or hardware on your departmental computer equipment.
