I can help with instruction and use of EndNote or Zotero.

Adjunct Faculty - Start Here

If you are Adjunct Faculty and have a network ID and password and badge, you will have seamless access to library resources. However, if you are Adjunct Faculty and DO NOT HAVE a network ID and password or badge, you will need to go through a couple of additional steps.

Access to Electronic Resources

  1. Email a copy of your appointment letter to askalibrarian@uthscsa.edu
  2. Our library staff will reply directly to your email with a unique username and password 
  3. You can log into the library's homepage using the "Adjunct Faculty & All Other Users" link (see image below)

NOTE: Your access will expire at the end of the fiscal year (8/31)every year. When you receive your new appointment letter, you will need to resubmit for renewed access following the process above.

Access to the Library Building

If you do not have a UT Health San Antonio badge, you will not be able to access the library building. Should you need to use the library space, please speak with me, or a member of library staff (askalibrarian@uthscsa.edu or 210-567-2450). We can:

  • Reserve a study room or meeting room
  • Provide a tour of the space
  •  Meet you at the door during regular business hours to allow entry to the building
