Many publishers are offering free or trial access to their books, videos, or journals to support distance learning brought on by COVID-19.
This list can be found under the Resource Guides menu at the top of the page.  It will be updated as new resources become available.

If you’ve received overdue notices for any materials you have checked out from the UAMS or ACH Libraries, please disregard them.  The UAMS Library is open, but there will be no overdue fines for this time when campus access is restricted.
If you have questions about Interlibrary Loan materials that are due, or will be due soon, please call 501-686-6744 for more information.
Thank you.

To our Library users,
In response to the coronavirus outbreak, access to the Library Building is open regular hours but access to the physical facility is available only for UAMS students, faculty, staff, and employees at this time.
We are happy to provide online assistance to those not affiliated with UAMS by email LibraryReferenceDesk@uams.edu
or phone 501-686-6734.
 

The UAMS Library used a print catalog until 1988 when we moved to the online version.
The wooden cabinets holding the many drawers for the 3 x 5 inch printed catalog cards took up the space on the 1st floor of the Library between the Circulation Desk and the entry to the Active Learning Center where the round wooden tables stand now.

The Library will be open regular hours on Monday, December 17;  7:30am – 10:00pm
The Student Success Center is closed for testing.
The Title IX/ADA office is also closed in observance of the holiday.

Congratulations to Lindsay Blake, MLIS, AHIP, Clinical Services Librarian in Education and Research Services. She and Alice Jaggers (formerly Outreach Librarian at UAMS) have published a paper that describes their Nursing Education program offered throughout Arkansas. This is a great project that helped increase nursing knowledge of patient education resources. Abbreviated citation: ‘Touring Arkansas: A Statewide Project to Instruct Nurses and Patient Educators on Consumer Health Resources’, published online 11 February 2020, in Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet

On Saturday, February 8, campus Environmental Services crews will be in the Library to clean the interior windows between 9am and 2pm.
We hope this won’t be too distracting if you are studying in the Library during that time.  We have to admit that we’re really excited to get the windows cleaned because it has been a long time since the last cleaning.  You’ll notice the difference!
Thanks for your patience!
