Instruction and Research Assistance
Group and Classroom Instruction
In an effort to educate the public about the rich health sciences history of Central Ohio and our collections, the Center offers tours of our facilities, classroom instruction, and presentations. If you are interested in any of these services, please contact us for more information.
Research Assistance and Consultation
The Medical Heritage Center is dedicated to providing research assistance and consultation through our three collections of rare books, archives and artifacts.
Customer Code of Conduct
The library strives to provide a safe and inviting environment for every library visitor. Please help us by refraining from behavior that disrupts others who are using the library.
Behaviors that interfere with the rights of others include, but are not limited to, the following activities:
Course Reserve Policy
Notice: Due to a system update, we will not be able to accept Course Reserves requests for Summer 2025.
The Course Reserve system allows for the borrowing and lending of required and requested OSU course materials. Instructors may request their course materials be added to our Reserve collection through our Course Reserve Request Form. The Health Sciences Library Course Reserve collection typically accepts course material for the health science colleges.
Join us for this great Last Lecture with Linda Stone.
This will be virtual via a Zoom link.

We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all library visitor data in compliance with federal and state laws, university policy, and professional standards (e.g., guidelines established by the American Library Association).
Health Sciences Library Advisory Committee
Library Advisory Committee members advise the Library Director on significant matters pertaining to library resources, space and new initiatives. Members offer recommendations regarding library services on behalf of library visitors, and they serve as advocates for the library in presenting major needs to relevant stakeholders.
