UC Health Sciences Library

The Health Sciences Library (HSL) is a cultural extension and support unit for scientific and pedagogical training at the University of Coimbra (UC). It was born in 2009 as a result of Medicine and Pharmacy Libraries merge, with the objective of implementing the strategy of rationalizing bibliographic spaces and resources at UC.

HLS's mission is to provide access to its funds, in paper or electronic format, to the entire University community and, in particular, to professors, researchers and students from Medicine and Pharmacy Faculties, as well as to the rest of the national and international scientific community.
