UT Southwestern Health Sciences Digital Library and Learning Center now has online access to the Wiley Nursing ebooks collection. This collection of online books was purchased through our consortial partnership with the University of Texas System using Academic Library Collection Enhancement Program (ALCEP) funds allocated by the UT System Board of Regents for one-time collection purchases.
The collection, now discoverable in the recently updated Library Catalog, provides easy one-click online access from the “Click here for online access via Wiley” link in the record. The new catalog record format also provides subject headings and a book cover image (when available).
To access the collection directly from the Library Catalog, go to the “Lists” drop-down menu on the top left and select “Wiley Nursing Ebooks Collection”.
UT Southwestern Health Sciences Digital Library and Learning Center now has online access to SAGE Research Methods (SRM) for the next three years (2015-2017). This resource was purchased through our consortial partnership with The University of Texas System using Academic Library Collection Enhancement Program (ALCEP) funds allocated by the UT System Board of Regents for one-time collection purchases.
SRM is a research methods resource created to help researchers, faculty, and students with their research projects. It includes links to more than 175,000 pages of SAGE’s book, journal, and reference content with advanced search and discovery tools. Researchers can explore methods concepts to help them design research projects, understand particular methods or identify a new method, conduct their research, and write up their findings.

On Monday, August 19, 2013, the Library initiated an extensive project to relocate the print book and journal collections to the University of Texas System/Texas A&M Joint Library Facility (JLF), which is located in College Station. Our collection is recognized as the most comprehensive medical collection in Texas, and it will become the core of a shared resource that will be used by students and faculty throughout the state, including the new UT System medical schools in Austin and South Texas.
The Library staff has been working on the relocation project, and we anticipate meeting the following deadlines to clear materials from the Middle and Top floors of the Library:
The relocated collection will be available electronically or through interlibrary loan; there will be no charge to request UTSW Library books located at the JLF. The Library’s collection of electronic books and journals will remain available through its website, library.utsouthwestern.edu.
The Library will retain a small print collection of titles held on reserve, as well as rare, unique, and archival materials, which may be used in the Library.
There will be increased noise and activity to the Middle and Top Floors during the next few months as we prepare the books and journals. Temporary Top and Middle floor access closure notifications should also be expected at this time.
The vacated space on the Library’s Middle and Top floors will be utilized for new educational initiatives.
The Library now has access to more than 900 additional Springer ebooks as part of a purchase with UT System ALCEP (Academic Library Collection Enhancement Program) funds, which are allocated by the UT System Board of Regents for a one-time consortium purchase. The new books are included in the Springer eBooks Biomedical and Life Sciences 2011-2012 collection, and they have been added to Ejournals and Ebooks A to Z and will be added to the Library catalog.
