The eLibrary of the Institute of Public Health in Ireland (IPH) is a searchable database of information resources for health professionals.

This now incorporates the online library of Ireland and Northern Ireland’s Population Health Observatory (INIsPHO) which has been closed down.

The Institute’s eLibrary uses the search engine of the All-Ireland Electronic Health Library (AIeHL). To search the other member sites of the AIeHL, complete an advanced search (by keywords or NPHL/SNOMED terms) and include those sites.
