How can I find supplies at the Health Sciences Library?

          

I need a phone charger!

It would be helpful to have dry erase markers to write on the whiteboards.

A calculator would be really useful!

Relax - all these supplies are available to borrow at the Health Sciences Library!  We have iPhone chargers, calculators, headphones, white boards, dry erase markers & colored pencils that can be checked out. 

 

Where can I find help with research?

Come see us in Room L201 for help with research. We will support you in your research needs and show you the best search methods!

Databases are a great place to search for individual articles from newspapers, magazines, and academic journals. 

While many news and magazine articles may also be found with an internet search engine, our subscription databases can provide you with access to older articles that are not available online and other pay-per-view materials, plus additional options to refine your search. As far as scholarly articles go, databases should be your first stop! Most scholarly literature is not freely available.

TCUS Print will enable you to print from your personal devices, iOS, Android, Mac, Chrome OS or PC, while connected to the Touro University network. You can then release your prints from any designated TCUS printer by entering your TouroOne portal credentials. 

In addition, all students will be given a free print allocation yearly to aid their academic endeavors.

  • Graduate students will receive 1000 prints
  • Undergraduates will receive 500 prints

This one-time allocation will be given to all current and new students, without expiration, as long as they remain an active student. This allocation has no monetary value and cannot be refunded or transferred.
