Sheps Center resources
The Sheps Center Library houses some pertinent reference materials, including basic statistical and demographic reference works; classic health services texts, North Carolina, AMA, and AHA guides; directories; and the Sage series on research.
A small number of current periodical titles are donated to the Sheps Center Library.
The Library also contains a special grey literature file compiled over the lifetime of the Center, the Rural/Policy Literature file, a file that held classic and ephemeral materials pertaining to rural health and health policy.
Due to space considerations, this file was reduced to materials covering the following topics:
- Materials related to original research projects performed at the Sheps Center and not available electronically, and/or historically significant
- Select publications that staff and researchers recommended retaining
- Publications containing raw data not available at other UNC libraries or online
- Original surveys, questionnaires, or “tools”
- Original hard copy grant applications of historical importance to the Sheps Center
- The Rural/Policy File is supplemented with information from newspapers, government documents, state reports, and other sources and librarians maintain a database of bibliographic records, electronic holdings and relevant PDF documents
