Since the library was formed in 1970, it has continued to expand its collection of scientific journals and textbooks in basic science and ophthalmology. This expansion includes the purchase of all newly published books in ophthalmology. The library has subscriptions to more than 130 ophthalmology and other medical journals; these are converted each year to hard-bound volumes. An additional 400 volumes were acquired in 1985 from alumni members who donated parts of their collections on retirement from practice.
