Faculty librarians develop online resources and provide in-person research consultations for their students. In addition to one-on-one research consultations, the library offers an array of workshops and online tutorials on topics such as RefWorks, PubMed, and PowerPoint. Reference service is available at the library and remotely through the “Ask Us!” link on the library’s website. The library’s journals are available full-text online. Students can easily access online resources, including 16,000 fulltext books, by visiting the library’s website and logging in with their myUMB username and password.

A soundproof presentation practice studio with state-of-the-art software, equipment, and expert assistance is available by reservation. And, to encourage informal group study, rolling white boards are available throughout the library and several collaborative study pods are located on the first floor. The National Network of Libraries of Medicine’s Southeastern/Atlantic Region is headquartered at the HS/HSL.
