Strauss Library traces its origin to 1924 when the medical school was transferred from CU Boulder to the medical center location in Denver. At that time the library contained about 5,000 volumes and was housed in a single room. Fast forward one hundred years and the Strauss Library now has an incredibly large collection and is housed in a 113,000 square foot building.
Strauss Health Sciences Library is celebrating 100 years of service this year! It all started in 1924 when Mrs. Ella Strong Denison donated funds for “The Charles Denison, M.D., Memorial Library”, the rest, as they say, is history.
Over the years, thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Strauss Health Sciences Library has received numerous donations of historical medical artifacts. Occasionally, these items arrive without clear descriptions of their purpose or use, necessitating some investigative work. Many of our contemporary medical devices have evolved from these earlier artifacts, and while some designs exhibit recognizable similarities, others do not.
Strauss Health Sciences Library wants to let you know that your Resource Sharing team is here to help you get the research items you need. Resource Sharing is a fancy term for Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
At the Strauss Health Sciences Library, we lend, borrow, and document deliver journal articles, textbook chapters, books, DVDs, and anything else we or other libraries request. All for no charge to staff, students, and faculty.
Exciting news! To better support open access, CU Anschutz affiliates* get a 10% discount for APCs for publishing in select Elsevier fully gold open access journals. Use the Colorado Alliance's interactive journal finder to see which journals qualify.
As part of the rotating ‘Nancy Nelson - Women in Medicine’ exhibit series, which highlights significant women in healthcare and medicine, the Strauss Health Sciences Library proudly presents its latest exhibit honoring the late Dr. LaRae Kemp.

As part of our commitment to wellness and providing a rejuvenating environment, the library provides nap pods providing patrons a unique space to recharge and unwind. Key features of the nap pod include comfort and ergonomic design and privacy and tranquility. There are two nap pods, and both are located on the second floor in the Study Zone, room 2406K, across from the study zone’s kitchen.
We offer diverse options for well-being while you work in Strauss Library. Try one of our walk or bike stations instead of a study room. There are three walk stations on the first floor of the library, one in the Study Zone on the second floor, and two walk stations on the third floor. There is a bike station on each floor of the library. The bike station on the second floor is next to a pull-up station if you really want to test yourself.
