Actually there probably is not that much in the SIBL. Mostly they avoid buying anything that has to do with healthcare (even the healthcare industry), since the policy of the library is to collect health materials in the Health Information Center at Mid-Manhattan. (Or at least that was the policy in November 1996 when I left New York Public to come to Hamline; from what I have heard, it has not really changed much.)
I don't really know of too many other places to search, but if my memory serves me correctly there were a few (although a limited number) in the New York Academy of Medicine Library.

An attorney wants me to compile a list of libraries in the NYC area
that have healthcare industry holdings. Besides calling libraries--
which I am doing-- if anybody knows of libraries with such
collections, I would like to hear from you. The Special Libraries
Directory of Greater New York does not provide for such specific
subject breakdown of collections. The new SIBL on 34th Street has some
titles. I will summarize for the list if there is an interest. TIA
