Established in 2011, Taubman Health Sciences Library's Global Health Program engages with U-M campus on global health initiatives in education, research and collaboration. The Library works to curate global information and data resources, cultivate partnerships within the health sciences community, participate in research efforts addressing global health equity, and collaborates with faculty, staff and students to lessen health inequities around the world using the power of information resources.
Welcome to Taubman Health Sciences Library's Global Health Guides. This suite of guides are a place to start investigating interdisciplinary literature, data, and other resources to better understand global health issues, international communities, global health equity, and social determinants of health.
Please contact Gurpreet Rana (preet@umich.edu), Informationist and Global Health Coordinator, for additional assistance. Research consultations are available for U-M community members by appointment.
