The Taubman Health Sciences Library's Global Health Program develops and implements a range of efforts including programs, instruction, and services to contribute to the University's efforts in global health. The library provides leadership in identifying global information resources, cultivating partnerships with health sciences community, exploring the role of global health informatics in instruction, incorporating librarians into global health initiatives, identifying and investigating grant and funding opportunities, taking part in research efforts in global health, and collaborating with faculty to lessen health disparities around the world using the power of information resources.
“Global health cannot be described narrowly. It is interdisciplinary, covering a wide range of areas of study and perspectives. Global health addresses health, public policy, economics, social work, engineering, environmental sciences, business, law, and more. Research and study in global health is expanding in so many directions . . . When we talk about improving health outcomes and reducing disparities around the world, we cannot deny the role of information. We now live in a world that defies boundaries.” – Gurpreet Rana, Global Health Coordinator, Taubman Health Sciences Library
