What LWW Health Library is
LWW Health Library is an institutional subscription portal for foundational and clinical science teaching and learning. Institutions can select collections covering pharmacy, medical education, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech, language and hearing, oncology, orthopaedic surgery, anesthesiology, and surgery. Resources include texts, cases, self-assessments, procedure videos, images, audio files, and specialty quiz banks. Keyword search spans library text and media, while semantic search can organize results by title, chapter, topic, or resource type. Course integration tools support instructors, and the service includes MARC records and COUNTER-compliant reporting. Its responsive interface works on computers, tablets, and smartphones. Chapters can be printed or saved as PDFs for offline reading, and much content can be shared with colleagues and classmates. A free personal account adds quizzing, notes, saved searches, and saved content. Pricing is available on request.
