Hospital library welcomes anyone looking for answers | Asbury Park Press Online

APP.COM v4.0 - Hospital library welcomes anyone looking for answers | Asbury Park Press Online: "The Booker Health Sciences Library at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune offers current medical journals, books, audiovisual equipment, copy machines and computer access for public use at no charge.

Cathy Boss, library services coordinator, promoted the hospital's open-door policy during a recent monthly meeting of the Monmouth and Ocean County Brain Tumor Support Group Inc. at Wall Township Library.

Boss said reference librarians assist visitors in locating medical information ranging from drug reactions and clinical trials to alternative therapies.

'We don't discriminate between professionals and health consumers,' she said. 'And if you prefer, library staff will collect the information and mail or e-mail it to you free.

The Booker Health Sciences Library is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Hospital volunteers and medical professionals are granted access 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Boss said.
