Did you know? EvergreenHealth's library is fully-digital


Because you are reading this, you know we have a library. But did you know that it is a fully-digital library? Once a “brick and mortar” library, in 2012 we transitioned to digital and continue to build our collection, which contains a wealth of journals, e-books, databases and more. 

Earlier this year, we purchased a tool that makes it even easier for you to search for and obtain items from our library. This tool, EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS), has been affectionately termed the “Google for our Library”. EDS collects all library resources into one centralized site for searching and aids in self-retrieval by providing PDFs and direct hyperlinks to our content. 


In addition, EDS provides a way to find journal titles offered through our library. Some of our most popular titles include: 
  • American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 
  • American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine 
  • American Journal of Sports Medicine 
  • Annals of Internal Medicine 
  • Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 
  • Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) 
  • Journal of Maternal Fetal and Neonatal Medicine 
  • New England Journal of Medicine 
  • Obesity Surgery 
  • Pediatrics 

For more information on Discovery, go to the Library Services page via Everlink. Please note that if you are off-site, or not on a hospital-networked computer, some resources may not yet function correctly.
