Information for Hampton Roads Residents

The Edward E. Brickell Medical Sciences Library (EVMS Library) provides information resources and services to EVMS students, faculty, clinicians, and staff as well as to members of the Hampton Roads community. We are open to the public during staffed hours.

Three computers are available for general use by the public. All of our information resources can be used by members of the community from these computers.

About This Guide

This guide was developed as part of the EVMS Library's commitment to addressing our community’s most pressing health needs through outreach. Our goal is to improve the health information seeking process and understanding of patients, family members, students, and other members of our Hampton Roads community through increased awareness and use of reliable, freely available, authoritative health information.

We also aim to support the information needs of local public library staff and health professionals who also serve our community. Library staff and health professionals, we'd like to hear from you! Please let us know how you are using our guide at researchlibrarians@evms.edu.
