  • Evidence Synthesis

    Evidence synthesis projects that include a librarian have been shown to be of higher quality than those without a librarian. The Libraries offer an evidence synthesis service for TTUHSC faculty and students who are working toward publishable research. View more about getting started below.

    Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

    No library can own every item and the Libraries' interlibrary loan service enables students, faculty, and staff to access materials that may not be available at the TTUHC Library. This service is free to TTUHSC students, faculty, and staff. Learn more about Interlibrary Loans below.

    Research Librarians/Liaisons

    TTUHSC librarians are experts in navigating scholarly databases and information resources, assisting students and faculty with their research so that they can locate credible, relevant evidence. We teach essential searching skills, empowering learners to evaluate information critically.

    A liaison librarian acts as the primary, designated contact between the library and a specific school, instititue, or department. They specialize in their assigned subject area to support faculty and student research, develop collections, provide tailored instruction and are often embedded in courses. They also develop specific guides (LibGuides) for easy access to library resources.
