Himmelfarb Information Portal

If you like the convenience and ease of searching Google and Google Scholar, but are concerned about the quality and availability of results retrieved, Himmelfarb Library may have a solution. Himmelfarb Information Portal is a new search tool that will replace the multidatabase search on the Library's homepage starting the week of July 1st. You can use HIP to enter keyword searches and retrieve health sciences-focused content that is in Himmelfarb's collections. This includes full-text access to most of Himmelfarb's electronic resources, and records from the Library Catalog to locate print and multi-media resources.

HIP will be available as a pilot project throughout the upcoming academic year and we will be evaluating and fine-tuning it as the year progresses. Visit the Himmelfarb Information Portal FAQ for more information about HIP and use the feedback form to share your comments or get answers to questions.

Create your own group study space on the first floor of Himmelfarb Library!

Himmelfarb Library has recently acquired two moveable partitions with whiteboards for use by our patrons. These partitions can be configured around a study table or group of chairs to create a semi-private group study space on the first floor. Dry erase markers and erasers can be checked out at the Circulation Desk for use with the partitions/white boards.

Feel free to move the partitions around on the first floor to meet your group study needs!Portable study space
