There is no charge for most library services provided to healthcare professionals. Please look at our fees page for more information. If obtaining your requested articles will incur a fee, the charges will be passed on to you. We will inform you of costs prior to filling your request.

Resources
The AHEC Digital Library (ADL) is a statewide electronic network of resources gathered to support NC healthcare professionals in obtaining current information. The ADL includes collections of specific health specialty resources with access to full-text journals and textbooks and searchable databases, including Medline, CINAHL, and The Cochrane Collection of Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews. 

Individuals may access the ADL in several ways:

• A free version with limited resources is available to all individuals at https://library.ncahec.net
• Many NC hospitals have institutional ADL subscriptions for their employees and medical staff. NC healthcare professionals may purchase yearly memberships for $200 per single individual. For pricing on multiple memberships please contact library staff at medlibrary@wakeahec.org.
• Less than the cost of a single journal subscription, memberships provide access to the full scope of licensed ADL resources 24/7.

To check your eligibility or to apply for a free 30-day trial of the ADL, please completely fill out an ADL Account Request.
