Books
The Medical Library's book holdings include approximately 3,594 volumes in the basic sciences, clinical medicine, and public health. Books are shelved by call number according to the Library of Congress classification system. The library is not an archival collection of historical materials, so every effort is made to ensure currency of materials. The circulation period for textbooks is two weeks.
Access to the library's collection is available through the UT Libraries Catalog . Preston Medical Library books can be identified by "Preston Medical Library" and the call number. For orientation on use of the online catalog, please contact the library .
Purchase of Books
Books are selected for the collection in support of UT Graduate School of Medicine's various research, teaching, and clinical care needs. Recommendations for purchase of new library materials may be communicated to the Assistant Director. A book purchase recommendation form is available here. Newly processed books recently received by the library are shelved on the "New Book" cart in the Reading Room.
UT Graduate School of Medicine and UT Medical Center physicians and staff may purchase personal copies of textbooks through the UT Health Science Center bookstore. Select Majors to order online using your credit card.
