Rare books collection

The Papoulakio Library was located at the Medical School before the Library of Health Sciences was established.  This collection includes old and rare books (Greek and foreign) and journals as well.  We avoid photocopying books from this collection because they are very fragile.  Access to the material is allowed by special arrangement with the Staff.

Print Journal collections

The journals’ collection used to include 279 titles.  Some of them have been discontinued because they are now included in Heallink in electronic full-text form and are therefore available via a link to that database.  Currently, our collection of subscribed journals consists of 213 titles.
