Library invites suggestions, comments, questions

Do you have gripes, suggestions, comments, or questions about the Library? Let us know by using the Tell Us What You Think (TUWYT) page on the Library Web site (find it under the “Get Help/Ask us” link on the left sidebar).
We’ll reply to suggestions, comments, etc. on the TUWYT page. If you provide contact information, you will receive a personal response. TUWYT operates in blog format, so further comments can be made on the Library’s reply. Suggestions and comments received on paper suggestion forms will be posted on TUWYT page as well. A link to the TUWYT policies can be found on the TUWYT page.
If you have questions about how to find information, rather than about the Library itself, please fill out the Ask a Librarian form on the Web site to send a query directly to our research librarians. For technical questions or problems, use the Contact Us form.

Get the edge with a free literature search by an expert!

Researching a topic? Need an evidence-based search of the literature? Our expert librarians will search your topic free of charge in the best database(s) and send you a list of relevant publications. Contact our research librarians by using the Request a Literature Search form on the Library Web site.
This service is available to UT Southwestern students & employees (including those at the University Hospitals), as well as staff of Parkland Health & Hospital System and Children’s Medical Center.
If you have questions, call 214-648-2003 to speak to one of our librarians.

Access patient records via "clinical workstations" in Library

The South Campus (main) Library has two “clinical workstations” that offer access to the UT Southwestern electronic medical record (EMR) system. Each workstation is in a private enclosure with a color printer and phone.
These workstations are for use by individuals who have a UT Southwestern ID badge with a “clinical image” or a UT Southwestern hospital ID or by medical students in their second, third, or fourth years. (Staff in other categories who feel they need access should contact the Library’s Information Desk at 214-648-2001.)
Keys to these rooms can be checked out from the Information Desk for two hours by showing a qualifying ID. Funding for the installation of these workstations, and their enclosures was provided by the Florence Foundation.

University Hospital–St. Paul Archives moved to Library

The University Hospital–St. Paul’s extensive archive documenting the history of St. Paul has been moved from the hospital to the UT Southwestern Library. The St. Paul materials will be kept as a separate collection within the UT Southwestern Archives at the Library. The Library has served the University Hospitals–St. Paul and Zale Lipshy since their merger with UT Southwestern in 2005.
The St. Paul archive contains publications, photographs, and unpublished materials documenting the over 100-year history of St. Paul Hospital (later called St. Paul Medical Center), from the time of its founding in 1896 to the present day. The St. Paul archive also includes documents and photographs from the St. Paul School of Nursing, which operated from 1900-1971.
For information about the St. Paul archives, or if you wish to consult material from the archives, contact Bill Maina, Archivist, by email or by phone at 214-648-2629.
