Greetings New Graduate Nursing Students!
My name is Michael Skinner. I am your Graduate Nursing Librarian.
The Nursing Library Orientation guide is here to help get you started with library research at UT Tyler by showing you where to find and access the resources and services you will need for your program.
The guide is a self-paced tool that will take you through the “must know” essentials and will be available to you for consultation in the semesters ahead.
Should you have questions either about matters covered in the guide, or other subject-related questions, I am here to help.
You can reach me by email at michaelskinner@uttyler.edu.
If you need more in-depth library research assistance, we can also meet in-person, talk via phone, or online through Zoom.
