Abstract
Abstract Medical librarians are frequently asked for the latest literature and research on a topic, but this task assumed a particular focus during the COVID-19 pandemic. medRxiv is an open access preprint repository that features the latest medical research, especially in fast-changing fields. Despite preprints not being peer-reviewed, using this type of resource is vital for today’s medical librarian. This review examines medRxiv, describes the website’s features and functions, and evaluates the repository’s usefulness to the medical librarian.

The Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries is a peer-reviewed professional journal devoted to the access, evaluation, and management of electronic resources in the medical library environment. This journal will be an essential resource for academic medical school libraries, hospital libraries, and other health sciences libraries. The material in the Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries will complement articles published in Medical Reference Services Quarterly (also edited by M. Sandra Wood), which highlights the reference and bibliographic instruction aspects of electronic resources.
