The Library’s collection policy does not stipulate that we will supply textbooks for all classes across the curriculum; this would be cost-prohibitive and not possible. However, the Library does hold in its collections a number of eBooks that happen to be textbooks in multiple programs of study at Anschutz. If you would like to learn more about discovering and using the Library's eBooks in your studies, please contact AskUs.

This is something that the library could consider in the future. There are various challenges to planning additional nap pods and appropriate sleeping spaces. Some data we have from samples over several years do not seem to indicate that both nap pods inside the study zone are in use at the same time very often.

Thank you for submitting a library wish request for USMLE RX and Boards and Beyond. We will get more information about those two resources, and look into subscription options if our collection budget allows.

Thanks for asking about funds to support Open Access Article Processing Charges (APCs). At this time the library has no plans to provide OA funds for faculty and staff; however, the library has been having conversations with the Office of Research about support for OA on the campus. The library has an existing agreement with one publisher that allows Anschutz faculty to publish OA without APCs and a discount on APCs with another publisher. Reach out to AskUs if you’d like more information about those two options.

We share that same goal of elevating the research profile of the Anschutz Medical Campus. Faculty can use our Professional Literature Searching Service for Tier 1, fully-supported (i.e., systematic review) search projects or literature search building (Tier 2). While there is often a wait time for the literature searching service, we are excited to share that we have added a new member to the Education & Research team, which will allow us to serve more researchers and their projects in the future.

While paid literature searching is not available for student curriculum projects (MSAs, capstones, theses, etc), students are able to schedule 1-1 consultations for literature search assistance. Please use AskUs to request help with literature searching.

We cannot provide this map option at this time but do receive this comment from student users sometimes. We will look into a mapping add-on tool the vendor provides and consider other internal, homegrown methods to try and do this. Thank you.

Thank you for submitting a library wish request for AMBOSS. We received multiple wishes for renewing our one-year trial subscription and/or expanding our subscription to include more medical students. We understand that many students find it very useful for study and exam preparation. It is an expensive resource and the library needs to investigate funding options. We may also look into some other exam prep tools suggested by students if our budget allows.

You may already know about this, but the library does subscribe to BoardVitals. It has question banks for USMLE 1-3, and shelf exams for the following areas:

NBDE I, NBDE II, NAPLEX, NCLEX RN, PANCE; Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Neurology, OBGYN, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Surgery.

Thank you for submitting a library wish request for AMBOSS and UWorld. We received multiple requests for AMBOSS and understand its importance for your study. We will investigate funding options. We will get more information about UWorld and look into subscription options if our collection budget allows.
