The medical information supply headquarters of the central library was established in 1995 with the goal of supplying scientific resources and electronic information in the field of medical sciences. In the beginning, service was provided to clients by purchasing Medline CDs offline.

Currently, the information supply database is linked to the network of the central library through cable and WIFI connection and is equipped with work stations to have access to electronic databases online and offline and search scientific resources.
