AHECs A major aspect of our outreach activities is the symbiotic relationship between the UAMS Library and the Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Libraries in the state. Arkansas is divided into 7 AHEC regions with each AHEC covering certain counties. This regional breakdown is important because it forms the backbone of local medical library services available to health care professionals in the state. For example, the UAMS Library functions as an AHEC Library in providing direct services to health care professionals in Cleburne, Faulkner, Garland, Hot Spring, Perry, Pulaski, Saline, Van Buren and White counties. These services include reference service, computer searches, current awareness services, interlibrary loan (ILL) and document delivery assistance. For health care professionals in other counties, the local AHEC/DHEC provides similar services.

Each AHEC Library offers assistance with computer searches, document delivery, and reference queries. When necessary, the AHEC librarians have numerous national and regional resources available to them for obtaining articles or answering reference questions. All Arkansas AHEC Libraries provide Loansome Doc services for health professionals in their region, using PubMed or Internet Grateful Med; however fees for the Loansome Doc service may vary. If you would like detailed information about the
services provided in your region, please contact your local AHEC librarian
as shown on the previously linked list. If you have any questions regarding
this list or other outreach concerns, please contact Susan Steelman,
Coordinator of Outreach Services, UAMS Library, at 501-686-6737 or SteelmanSusanC@uams.edu.
