Librarians offer instruction in searching and finding for:

  • Literature reviews

  • Practice Guidelines
  • and more!

We also offer EBP instruction:

  • Overviews
  • Resources for EBP after graduation
  • Composing a searchable question and turning it into an effective literature search
  • Critical analysis of information sources

We can support you:

  • In person
  • Online
  • Through pre-recorded modules
  • With personalized resource guides like this one

For the most seamless access to UT Health subscription resources, like journal articles and eBooks, we recommend installing the LibKey Nomad browser extension.

Alternatively, you can view our E-Resources Tips for other methods of logging in and further help with E-Resources.

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

In order to access electronic resources you must:

  1. Email a copy of your appointment letter to askalibrarian@uthscsa.edu
  2. Library proxy screenshotCreate a library account at https://briscoe.uthscsa.edu/ (click on Register)

Our library staff will reply directly to your email with a unique username and password 

When visiting resources, log into the library's homepage using the "All Other Users" link

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

Accessing the building

If you do not have a UT Health San Antonio badge, you will not be able to enter the library. Should you need to use the library space, please reach out to me or another member of library staff via chat, email (askalibrarian@uthscsa.edu) or phone (210-567-2450).
