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.
