Special Collections
The Himmelfarb Library is fortunate to have two special collections: the Humanities and Health Collection and the Wertlieb Collection which offers online information about long-term care.
Humanities and Health Collection
About the Humanities and Health Collection
The Himmelfarb Library has always selectively acquired books classified in the Literature in Medicine genre. Recognizing the need for these materials, Himmelfarb has worked to build a more formal humanities and health reading collection. The circulating collection is shelved in the Wertlieb Resource Room [Himmelfarb 201] and can be browsed online through the online catalog.
