The NYU Health Sciences Libraries recently completed a strategic plan for 2013-2015. Please read the summary of this plan, and stay tuned for more details and updates here as we begin to implement it.

We're pleased to announce that the Waldmann Dental Library located at the Manhattan VA is now open for business. As the VA gets back on its feet our hours are shortened as follows:

• Card Swipe Access:  Mon-Fri 7:30am - 8:00pm
• Staffed:  Mon-Fri 8:00am - 8:00pm
• By order of VA Security, you must VACATE the building by 8:00pm. Thanks for your cooperation.

Medical students may use the Waldmann Dental Library as alternate study space. Those without activated purple NYU IDs will be limited to the hours the facility is staffed.

The stairwell door on the second floor is currently locked. In spite of what the signs say, you may use the public elevators to get to the second floor.

Two new printers have been installed and are available to account holders for printing from the computers in the library. For now we cannot offer printing from your own personal computer or laptop.

What's happening with the library?

If you've walked from the Medical Center lobby east through the breezeway toward the Smilow Building, you may have noticed that the library facility is closed. I want to reassure you that planning is underway to reopen the Ehrman Medical Library, once Medical Science Building systems are restored. No date has yet been set for that.

We're happy to announce that the Bellevue Medical Library has re-opened! And because we know that medical student study space is so scarce, we are staying open until 10pm on weekdays during the month of February.

Located on the 14th floor (14N12) of the Hospital building, the Bellevue library has 20 computers connected to the NYU network and 4 connected to the Bellevue network (for Misys access). Like much of Bellevue, we do not offer wireless access and, for the moment, cannot offer printing. We hope to see you soon!

There are currently 8 different locations with available study space in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Sterling Forest. For a detailed list of locations, please see our map!  Visit our website for updates and access to resources, services, and collections.

If the Library isn't "there" anymore, is it anywhere else? We are still there to serve the information needs of the NYULMC community — any time, any place.

After being knocked out of our facility in the Medical Sciences Building by Hurricane Sandy, the Library continues to operate in an altered but very functional state. Most of our faculty and staff are now occupying offices at 577 First Avenue (at 33rd St).

Although most of our facilities are temporarily closed, our collections and services are up and running: e-journals and e-books are available; anything not available electronically can be obtained on request; and librarians are answering questions and meeting with you and your colleagues.
