In 1924, members of the John Morgan Society established a fund for the purchase of medical journals for the Penn Biotech Commons.

Today, many journals, such as MDConsult, are online and available for use at home, in the office or the laboratory. Funds such as this make it possible for the Penn Libraries to provide the very latest in research and theory.
