This tool will save you time by pulling impact factors, CiteScore, and other quality indicators for the journals you need, all in one place. All you need to search is the journal title or the ISSN.
Email us at at asklibrary@health.missouri.edu if you need assistance.
Summer 2021 required and recommended textbooks for classes in the School of Nursing, School of Health Professions and the Department of Health Management and Informatics are now available at the library. Each course has its own corresponding tab.
Paper copies are available on Health Sciences Library Reserve for a 24 hour checkout time. Any duplicate copies of textbooks are available and subject to regular check out times.
Be aware of the user limits on electronic textbooks. They are different depending on textbook and platform. We make note of any user limits.

The fifth installment of the NextGen Precision Health Discovery Series, titled “The Genomics Core at MU and NextGen Precision Health,” will be held virtually at noon on Tuesday, June 8. The speaker, Wes Warren, PhD, is a professor of Genomics at the University of Missouri Bond Life Sciences Center and he is an internationally recognized expert in comparative genomics.
In this webinar, Dr. Warren will explore how over the last 10 years, “next-generation” sequencing (NGS) has created a paradigm shift in biological examination of disease as the sequencing instrument has become the modern era digital microscope of investigation. As a central campus/system resource, the MU DNA Core facility promises to substantially increase the development of system-wide research networks and impact all levels of multi-disciplinary basic, biomedical and clinical research. Dr. Warren will discuss the MU Tier 1 sequencing initiative and more generally the power of sequencing to address all types of biological questions with varied starting points, including the use of single cell technology.
Register here for the June 8 webinar to receive a Zoom link.
The NextGen Precision Health Discovery Series provides learning opportunities for UM System faculty and staff across disciplines, the statewide community and our other partners to learn about the scope of precision health research and identify potential collaborative opportunities. The series consists of monthly lectures geared toward a broad multidisciplinary audience so all can participate and appreciate the spectrum of precision health efforts.
