- I. Purpose:
- To supply the nursing literature needed to support teaching and research through the
doctoral level. Interest in material on nursing centers in the School of Nursing,
but students and faculty in other University schools and colleges also use the material both academically and as consumers of
health care.
- II. General Collection Guidelines:
-
- A. Languages: English is the primary language of collection: Works originally written in languages other
than English are rarely purchased and only in English translation.
- B. Chronological Guidelines: Primary emphasis is on 20th century, but no period is excluded.
- C. Geographical Guidelines: Primary emphasis is on nursing in the United States, with secondary emphasis
on nursing as practiced in the major countries of the British Commonwealth.
- D. Treatment of Subject: Historical materials dealing with the development of the practice of nursing
are collected extensively, as are biographies and autobiographies of nurses and other health care workers. Materials
dealing with the legal aspects of nursing are collected broadly; popular treatments are purchased selectively.
Upper level textbooks are acquired extensively.
- E. Types of Material: Included are encyclopedias, directories, dictionaries of nursing the proceedings of
nursing institutes and conferences, and selectively, theses and dissertations from other institutions. Pertinent local,
state, and federal government documents are acquired, as are the publications of professional organizations such as the
National League of Nursing, the American NursesŐ Association, and the International Council of Nurses.
- F. Date of Publication: Emphasis is on current publications. Older works are rarely purchased and are
generally publications. Older works are rarely purchased and are generally added to the collection only when they
illustrate historical development of a nursing field, including the practice of nursing, or meet specific teaching
or research needs.
- G. Other General Considerations: The interdisciplinary nature of the health professions makes it necessary
for students of nursing to become acquainted with a wide variety of subjects, such as the biological sciences, pharmacy,
medicine, chemistry, psychology, sociology, social work, child development, nutrition, education, community planning,
public policy, communications and business. They must, therefore, draw upon a wide variety of the resources of
The University of Texas Libraries, as well as those of other libraries on the University campus such as the
Tarlton Law Library: Jamail Center for Legal Research, the Hogg Foundation
for Mental Health Library, and the Population Research Center. Off-campus
libraries may provide duplicate or additional material. They include:
- Austin Community College, Allied Health Sciences Library: Supplementary nursing books, journals, and pamphlets,
and allied health and hospital literature.
- Austin State Hospital, Medical Library: Supplementary materials on psychiatric nursing and community mental health.
- Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, Central Office
Library: Supplementary materials on psychiatric and mental health nursing.
- Library of the Texas Medical Association, Memorial Library:
Materials in all areas of clinical medicine. Fees for use of the library by individuals may be for one-time use, or
on a monthly on annual basis; for groups the annual fee depends upon group size.
- University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Library: Materials
on public health and clinical medicine, and supplementary materials on nursing.
