4.10.6 The Library is a major resource for teaching, research and clinical care in communication sciences and disorders, dentistry, medicine, nursing, biology, and physical and occupational therapy. The Library is noted for its strong retrospective collection of books and journals. Information on the library collections and services can be found at www.mcgill.ca/library/library-using/branches/lsl.The Osler Library of the History of Medicine, which opened in 1929, is physically and intellectually connected to the Life Sciences Library. The Library has as its nucleus the 8,000 volumes willed to McGill University in 1919 by Sir William Osler (one of its most famous pupils and teachers). The collection now totals over 90,000 volumes as Sir William's original gift has been augmented by transfers from the Life Sciences Library, by other gifts and bequests and by an active purchasing program. The Library is supported by a Friends group, publishes a Newsletter, available at www.mcgill.ca/library/library-using/branches/osler-library, and offers an annual research travel grant.
