NOVEL (Neuro-Ophthalmology Virtual Education Library) is a discipline-specific, open access repository of digital materials (images, video, lectures, articles and animations), to be used for educational and research purposes by health care professionals, educators, patients, and students.
NOVEL is a collaborative project between the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library, University of Utah, and the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (NANOS).
