Services for Faculty and Staff
The McGoogan Health Sciences Library offers services to support faculty and staff research and teaching. Faculty and staff who are new to UNMC are invited to contact the library for a one-on-one orientation.
Liaison Librarians
Liaison librarians are focused on the needs of UNMC colleges, institutes, and departments. They serve as:
- A point of contact for library-related questions
- Instructors who can help faculty and students navigate the world of information and library resources
- Advocates for faculty and staff needs within the library
Scholarly Support
- Expand scholarly reach by depositing scholarly work (posters, presentations, reports, etc.) in the campus repository: DigitalCommons@UNMC
- Guidance for copyright questions
- Navigation of the scholarly publishing and impact landscape
Researcher Services
The library helps transform UNMC’s research and scholarly output through all stages of the research lifecycle.
We accomplish this through:
- Serving as a nexus for tools, resources, and expertise
- Playing a pivotal role as partners at all points of the research lifecycle
- Raising awareness of best practices
- Facilitating accessibility of UNMC’s scholarly output
- Helping researchers save time so they can focus on their education, basic science, population, or clinical research

Volunteer faculty may request literature search services and interlibrary loan (copies only, no loans) for educational purposes in direct support of teaching or grand rounds.
