Email a Librarian

You may contact the reference librarians via email at library@nyam.org.

The reference librarians in the Malloch Rare Book Room can be contacted with rare book and history-related questions via email at history@nyam.org.

Reference librarians can provide you with the following information via email:

• physician credential information
• definitions from a medical dictionary
• answers to short, factual inquiries
• journal publication information
• information about the book and journal holdings of the NYAM Library
• submission of retrieval requests for up to five items prior to a library user's visit (requests are placed on hold at the Library's front desk)

In-depth research assistance can also be provided via email. The librarian may need to contact you via telephone for clarification of your search request.

Please note: Reference staff may not answer questions of a pharmaceutical nature or provide interpretation of medical literature. The NYAM Library does not provide physician referrals.

Reference questions received via email will be answered in as timely a manner as possible. For more immediate assistance, please call us, chat with us, or make an appointment to visit the Library.
