Pharmacy Library Overview

Located on the fourth floor of the Xavier Library Resource Center, the Pharmacy Library is a facility that provides students and faculty with the materials they need for research and general study.  This material consists of Reserve text books, Pharmacy related journals, and computers allowing online access to a number of medically oriented databases.  In addition to these services we also provide information for patrons who call to inquire about various Pharmacy and medically related topics.  Faculty can check out reserve books (Ready Reference) and journals for a period of two weeks, and we request that the material stay solely in the possession of the original patron.   Two study rooms are available for the use of faculty and students.  Students can utilize these rooms in groups of three or more and there is a two hour limit for their use.
