Opened in Spring 2002, the Maguire Medical Library at the Florida State University College of Medicine is the first academic medical library created in the 21st century during a time when the development of the World Wide Web has proven to be an effective delivery mechanism for knowledge-based information. Though the emphasis is on delivering information electronically whenever available, the Maguire Medical Library has acquired a quality core print collection of books and journals. The collection focuses on medicine and delivery of medical care to rural, geriatric and other underserved populations.
