Welcome

Welcome to the UTHSC Health Sciences Library's resources guide for the College of Health Professions (CoHP).

I am the library's liaison to all CoHP departments.

Library Liaisons, or subject librarians, are the primary contact for any questions or issues regarding library resources and services. We provide information services to support the teaching, research, and clinical needs of CoHP programs. Examples of liaison services include but are not limited to:

providing library orientation to new students and faculty
delivering customized and course-related workshops or lectures to enhance student learning
assisting with collection development for individual colleges or departments
creating resource guides for individual colleges, departments, or courses
providing free literature searches and systematic review searches for faculty and residents
collaborating with faculty in educational activities that promote information literacy

Please contact me to ask any questions on existing resources or to recommend other resources.

Thank you!

Lin Wu
