ABOUT THE LIBRARY

Description
The LSU School of Dentistry Library, a branch of the LSU Health Sciences Center Libraries, has over 8,000 books and receives about 200 current journal titles. The library serves students, faculty, and staff of the dental school and health sciences center and also provides service to LSUSD alumni and dental health professionals in Louisiana. Located on the third floor of the dental school administration building, library facilities include photocopiers, computers, popular magazines, small group study rooms, and a display of historical dental equipment. When the dental school opened in 1968, it purchased the collection of the Loyola School of Dentistry Library, and thus the LSUSD Library includes historical dental publications as well as current dental literature.
