About the Library
Lane Medical Library is a state-of-the-art medical library within the Medical Student Education group led by Senior Associate Dean Charles Prober, MD. The library is comprised of three groups, all of which support Stanford Medical Center’s research, education, and patient care objectives.
We are proud of our rich history dating back to 1882.
Lane has 30 full-time staff of which 20 are librarians or technology professionals.
Lane Library’s Liaison Program pairs departments, institutes, and student groups of Stanford University Medical Center with individual librarians who are familiar with the perspectives and knowledge of their assigned departments and specialties. We offer a variety of additional help, such as curriculum content management, and expert research consultation.
