About the Wellington Medical Library

Wellington Medical Library's mission is the promotion and provision of client-focused, quality health information through service excellence. More...

The Wellington Medical Library incorporates the former BMA (NZ) Headquarters library and the Wellington Hospital library. It houses approximately 14,000 books, with a strong core reference collection. Current journal subscriptions number 600 and are complemented with an ever increasing electronic collection.

The Library is jointly funded by Otago University and Capital and Coast District Health Board. This dual funding underscores the library's joint responsibilities - to support, on the one hand, the teaching and research programmes of the School of Medicine, and on the other, to serve as an information resource for hospitals and individual health professionals, within the region.

The Library works in close contact with hospital libraries at
Porirua (now based in Wellington), Kenepuru and Hutt, and it regularly provides information in response to direct requests from all over the country.
