SHP Textbook Reserve

The Research Medical Library textbook reserves are a collection of books and eBooks the School of Health Professionals have told us students need to have access to. These items are kept at the Circulation desk and can be checked out by SHP students. The 48-hours (2 days) limited check out periods are to insure students have enough time to complete a reading or do an assignment, but prevent any one student from keeping an item for the whole semester. Students can access Textbook Reserve materials any time the library is open or 24/7 via eBook Reserve.

1.  Click on an eBook Reserve textbook from our guide. 

2.  You will be directed to the Remote Access screen.  Enter your MD Anderson MyID—probably the same username/password you are using for Sakai.
