AHEC librarians are here to answer your questions!
Librarians are a core part of the education and support that AHEC provides to North Carolina. Each of the nine AHEC locations has its own library, complete with a librarian staff prepared to meet the unique needs of the health care providers in their counties. In addition to this support, the AHEC Digital Library ensures that all providers in the state have high-quality health information at their fingertips.
How can we help?
AHEC librarians support any and all information needs of North Carolina’s health care providers. Whether you are a rural family physician in the mountains, a nursing student near the coast, or a mental health professional in the Piedmont, NC AHEC libraries will support your clinical, educational, or research activities.
NC AHEC library services include literature searches to answer your health care related questions, one-on-one help with PubMed and other biomedical databases, exhaustive literature reviews to support health care research, support for the presentation or publication of research results, ensuring easy access to critical information for continuing professional development and AHEC special topic initiatives, setting up alerts and quick access to help you stay current with health news, and more!
