Meaning and scope of a library

A library is a structured collection of information resources that is curated, preserved, and made accessible to users. In medical and health sciences research, the library’s scope extends beyond physical books to include electronic databases, grey literature, and research support services, all of which underpin evidence‑based practice and scholarly communication.
