Abstract: The University of California, Irvine, Grunigen Medical Library is the largest medical library in Orange County. It serves
the healthcare information needs of the UC Irvine Medical Center and College of Health Sciences, as well as providing service
to area physicians, healthcare professionals and students, medical libraries, and the public. The current medical library
