Farmer. Last year, the selection was Final Exam, Dr. Pauline
Chen’s reflection on end of life issues. The University Transplant

The UT Health Science Center Libraries provide guest access to computers to allow the public to research
health issues on the Internet. In addition, UT Health Science Center librarians have participated in several
projects to enhance public librarians’ knowledge of health resources on the Internet, particularly resources
provided by the National Library of Medicine. The public computers and Internet access The Libraries
provide are an important support resource for the patients and clinicians in our communities and represent a
valuable contribution to the UT Health Science Center’s educational, clinical and community service missions.
