Welcome

The online catalog includes the collections of the Medical and Research Library, Funding Information Center, and Audiovisual Library. Collections on Early Childhood Intervention and Rehabilitation Services from the former Brown-Heatly Library at the Dept. of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services have been merged into this catalog. Borrowing information for the individual collections is provided below.

Medical and Research Library

The Medical and Research Library collection consists of more than 2,000 books on subjects ranging from public health and medicine to the internet and management. The Library maintains a large collection of DSHS documents, as well as other government publications, and subscribes to over 200 journals. A comprehensive list of journals owned by DSHS and access to electronic journals is found at: http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/library/journals.shtm.

Employees associated with Texas Health and Human Service agencies may borrow Medical and Research library books for four weeks and journals for three days. Employees located off the DSHS campus may add an additional week to allow for mail time. Other libraries may borrow books through inter-library loan (except reference books). Medical books may not be loaned directly to the general public.
