About e-answers | Call or visit the library | Catalogs & Databases | Information Center

The Oakland Public Library has a wide variety of health and medical information. You can learn about diseases, medications, nutrition, fitness, and the human body by consulting our resources.

The Main Library has a large reference collection and a medical librarian. The staff can provide information, but cannot diagnose or offer advice about treatment. A trip to the library to learn about your condition will help you when you work with your health care provider to plan your therapy.

The links below will help you get started on your research.

• Medical Information on the World Wide Web
• Health and Wellness Resource Center (full-text periodicals, pamphlets, and reference material). You will be asked for your library barcode number
