Scholarly Repository

The Library manages this institutional repository, giving UNTHSC researchers worldwide visibility.  We invite you to submit both published and unpublished works.  There is no charge for processing or hosting your materials, and authors get monthly usage reports on their contributions.  

Faculty Bibliography

Annually, the Library publishes a bibliography of the published works of UNTHSC faculty members.  This can be a useful source for accurate citations of your publications.  The Bibliography is available online in the Scholarly Repository.

Purchase Requests

Whenever possible, the Library adds to its collections the books and media items requested by faculty members for their teaching and research needs.  Faculty recommendations are also welcomed for larger purchases such as research databases and e-book collections.  A Purchase Request Form is provided for your use.
