Wertlieb Media Resource Center New Open

The opening of the Wertlieb Media Resource Center (WMRC) commemorates the development of a local resource that provides a variety of educational materials and research aids in the field of long-term care. The collection is directed towards the needs of current students, alumni and other professionals in the healthcare field.

The establishment of this center honors Harvey Wertlieb, an undergraduate and graduate alumnus of The George Washington University (GW), and a distinguished long-term care administrator. It was made possible through the generous donations of the Wertlieb family and friends, many of whom are also GW alumni.

For long-term care research, this multi-media resource center includes three computer workstations with access to the Internet. The WMRC houses a growing monograph collection and other related materials. The WRMC's journal and multi-media collections have been fully integrated into the library's permanent collection. For ease of access, all materials, can be retrieved through the library's online catalog. The WMRC is located on the second floor of the library in Room 201 just to the left of the elevator, and its hours of operation are the same as the Library's. For reference assistance please contact the Reference Desk 202-994-2850, and for questions concerning the collection contact George Paul 202-994-3682.

The establishment of the WMRC within Himmelfarb Library affords both institutions the opportunity to offer a greatly expanded collection of resources in geronotology and long-term care to our students, faculty and to area professionals in health services and policy, public health medicine and other healthcare fields.
