The library also maintains current orthopaedic literature from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons on a monthly basis.

This library serves the department and supplements both the Orthopaedic Surgery Resident Conference Center library and the Rowland Medical Library in the area of orthopaedic surgery. The library also houses more than 100 video tapes from both seminars and the Academy regarding orthopaedic surgery.
