Medical Library
The Nationwide Children's Hospital medical library is a branch of The Ohio State University (OSU) Health Sciences Library. Our pediatric-focused print collection includes medical, nursing, allied health and general business texts. OSU faculty, staff, students and Nationwide Children's Hospital employees may borrow materials from the library with a valid OSU ID or courtesy library card. We issue courtesy library cards at the circulation desk. For further information, call (614) 722-3200.
With your library card, you may request books from any OSU library or from the OhioLINK network of libraries. OhioLINK (Ohio Library and Information Network) is a library network linking the collections and databases of many of Ohio's college and university libraries and the State Library of Ohio.
