NNLM Region 5 includes many state and county health departments who have access to the Public Health Digital Library.

The Public Health Digital Library (PHDL) provides access to over 375 e-journals, e-books, and databases. Access to the PHDL is available for public health departments who subscribe. While access to the collection is managed by the PHDL member/ subscriber, the NNLM’s Public Health Coordination Office manages the PHDL collection and provides training for participating members. Follow the PHDL Me This blog for more information about upcoming trainings and new resources.

• Alaska Division of Public Health
