About the Library
The Health Professions Library (HPL) website offers remote access to a massive index of full-text articles from journals, magazines, newspapers, and unique digital content via its electronic databases.
The library provides study areas with seating for up to 156 patrons; a reference area with eight computers; printing, copying, and scanning stations; two computer labs, and laptops available for short-term loan. The library's main PC lab has 30 workstations, while its smaller PC lab in W245 has 14 workstations. To support the teaching and learning needs of faculty and students, public workstations offer access to specialized applications such as Epi Info, IBM SPSS Statistics, Wolfram Mathematica, and EndNote reference management software. The librarians lead engaging educational programs and publish electronic guides on topics in information and technology literacy, research, informatics, data management, citation management, and bibliographic tools at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
