Health Sciences Library

Currently, due to the Covid Pandemic we are closed to the public but information can be mailed to you.

The Health Sciences Library at Berkshire Medical Center provides a resource for current medical information to patients, family members and visitors, and employees. We have a large collection of textbooks and journals - both in print and electronic formats. We have a computer lab available for use.

We currently have access to the following databases: Medline, CINAHL, Health Business, PsychInfo, JBI EBP and Cochrane. We subscribe to ClinicalKey, UpToDate, AccessMedicine, and Natural Medicines.

Librarians are also available to provide literature searches, photocopies of articles, and computer database instruction.
