While the faculties of medicine ensure the running of education and training
services around the world, they closely follow the latest medical developments.
Therefore, the cure for many diseases that cannot be treated in diagnosis and
treatment applications is presented as an invention in Medical Faculties. And
they have undertaken to continue these studies. While undertaking the education
and training studies of the countries on health, they also continue their hospital
services. In addition to that, the Faculty of Medicine Libraries gives an information
support on health and medicine in both electronic and printed materials to both
patients, doctors, nurses and caregivers who works day and night, as well as
academicians who train students who will become doctors in the future to serve
the people. They play a supportive role in maintaining education process. They
serve as both a school library and a hospital library.
In this study, Istanbul Medical Faculty Library established within the body of
Istanbul University will be discussed. Recently, an earthquake incident and then
a virus epidemic called covid 19, which started in 2020 and affected the whole
world, has had an impact on information and document services. This will be
dealt with both statistically and through a survey. While our library contributes to
education, it is also a pioneer in supporting the work of medical historians with
medical resources with a large historical background. It also maintains up-todate
medical information services. In the study, the impact of the pandemic on
services compared to the previous period will be discussed and while presenting
services are mentioned, future plans and projects will also be mentioned. There
was also an earthquake incident before this known pandemic. The effects of those
events have also been great. In such an environment, the motivations of nonacademic
hospital staff within the Faculty were also affected. In this regard, what
should be the information and documentation services are also discussed. The
pandemic period was a period in which traffic increased online and there was the
