Circulation Department

The Baugh Biomedical Library Circulation Department is located on the first floor as you enter the library. Although the Biomedical Library serves primarily the Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Allied Health, and the Harrison School of Pharmacy, all students and faculty of USA, as well as the members of the community are welcome. 

Services include: assistance in locating library materials and printing, checking out library materials, providing study room keys to medical, nursing, allied health and pharmacy students, confidentially managing patron records, and assisting patrons with various other needs.

The Circulation Department also provides access to the Veterans Room (The Bunker) to all Jag Vet students, regardless of major.
