About the Library
The Watson W. Wise Medical
Research
Library was dedicated in 1984 as an expansion and enhancement of the
existing
clinical library that was begun several years before. With the Health
Center's
initial emphasis in patient care, research, and education in chest
diseases,
the Library remains an excellent source of information on diseases of
the
lung. However, Mr. Wise's contribution and the continued
expansion
of the Health Center's mission and programs has resulted in a
collection
that is also strong in cardiology, biochemistry, molecular biology,
physiology,
family practice, and occupational medicine.
The Library serves not
only the Health
Center's physicians and research faculty, but the institution's nurses,
administrators, and other staff as well. In addition, area
professionals
and students and the general public use the Library, which remains the
only professionally staffed health science library in East Texas.
The Library maintains a
collection
of over 300 print periodicals, 4000 electronic periodicals, and 3000
books.
Public-access
microcomputers are also available for database and web searching, word
processing, presentations, and more. Library staff are available
to provide assistance.
