Consumer Health Library Directory

A National Directory Project of CAPHIS

This database contains information about CAPHIS member libraries around the United States and the world. We hope this will be useful to you in locating a consumer health library in your state. As of July, 2002, there are over 200 libraries in the database.
There are two search forms:	For Consumers and Librarians Search by state, subjects, or keywords For Librarians Search for lists of comparative library management information

How to search!
This is a very small database! If you check too many boxes or use too many words, you will retrieve nothing. Use the "Clear Form" button before you search again.

Consumers:
By checking "Consumer Information," you will see information about the collection and services of the libraries you find. If there are no consumer libraries listed from your area, contact the National Network of Libraries of Medicine for information about libraries that serve the public in your geographic area (1-800-338-7657). Link here for an explanation of how hospital and smaller medical libraries serve the public. Another recommended directoryto find a library that can help you with health information: The Member Directory of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine.

Librarians:

When searching by subject or key word, check "Management Information" to see detailed information returned from the database. Click here to see library management comparative lists in a question and answer format. These can be used for informal benchmarking.

To allow the database to grow, please consider sending in your library's data! Use this form ADD YOUR LIBRARY and participate today. Follow the directions for filling it out, ONLINE!
