Library Services

Yan Fu and Lee Ridley are happy to assist with information and research needs. We can help with the use of the library collection and electronic resources. We can direct you to services and resources on campus. The following are some of the services we provide:

Reference/Information Inquiries
We help with information questions and offer searching advice. We also provide assistance with the use of services and resources of the University Library system.

Literature/Citation Searches
We assist with literature searches on various bibliographic databases. Searches can include citation verification, author or cited reference searches or comprehensive literature reviews.

Document Request
Article and book deliveries are available to center faculty and research staff. The regular turn around time is 48 hours. Faculty members requesting books need to fill out a proxy card application form before book retrieval is possible. The proxy card is good for a year and needs to be renewed annually. Article requests do not need any forms. Faculty and research staff can drop off the requests at the front desk or via email.

Tables of Contents Delivery
Journal tables of contents delivery service is available to all members of the center. You can choose the journal titles you would like to receive. A sign up sheet is available at the front desk. You can add and delete titles at any time.

Tutorials/Workshops
We offer individual tutorials and group sessions on searching tools and bibliographic management software. Feel free to stop by or set up an appointment.

Reserve Shelves
The Library maintains a reserve shelf for students upon faculty's request.

NIH Public Access Policy Support
Library staff will help with compliance issues.
