The Sladen Library serves as Henry Ford Health's gateway to over 4,500 electronic journals, more than 3,600 electronic books, and an array of databases that support the teaching, research, and clinical practice missions of the health system.

The Sladen Library, on the seventeenth floor of the Clinic building, has a book collection, journal subscriptions, and databases available.

Students may borrow from the library, make requests for interlibrary loan material, and use the current computerized listings to access materials. Students also may use the library copying machine, without charge, to make single copies of library materials.
