Textbooks, Journals, Databases, and Clinical Care Resources:
The library provides access to numerous subscription information resources via the library website and university library catalog. Most resources can be accessed remotely using a valid ETSU username and password.

  • Additional print resources are available in the library facility.
  • If a needed resource is not available, it can be obtained via Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan for a minimal fee.
  • Library staff members can assist with locating specific known books, journals/articles, and other resources and with identifying helpful resources for a particular topic of study.
The library provides clinical care products such as Essential Evidence Plus, UpToDate (no remote access), and DynaMed, along with drug databases such as Micromedex and other resources.

A trial for DynaMedPlus is available through June 30; this clinical evidence product will be available at the beginning of July and will include remote access and CME. You are encouraged to try this product and let us know if you would like us to continue our subscription.
