The Library is vital in an era of virtual information

The Library of the Medical College of Georgia has a long and distinguished history. From the original library purchased by Dr. Louis A. Dugas in 1834 to modern computer labs and thousands of electronic resources, the library has provided students, clinicians and researchers with library services for almost two centuries. In 1988, the library was named for the renowned MCG physician, Dr. Robert B. Greenblatt.
