Our Mission
The mission of Academic & Instructional Support & Resources
(AISR) is to strengthen the educational, research and clinical activities
of the Jefferson community by:
- providing knowledge-based information,
- developing instructional technologies and content,
- providing leadership in scholarly communications and publishing,
- managing the University's learning infrastructure and facilities, and
- integrating learning resources into our educational program.
To accomplish this mission AISR staff provide consultation, instruction, preservation, production and biomedical communication services.
Who We Are
AISR's departments include Scott Memorial Library, Learning Resources,
Education Services, and Medical Media Services. The library also
includes the University Archives and Special Collections. AISR's
services are available on JEFFLINE, our integrated Web site.
Scott Memorial Library
The Library serves Thomas Jefferson University, its hospitals
and affiliates. We also head a consortium of medical libraries
for group purchase of databases and journals. AISR's JEFFLINE service
provides special "communities" for our affiliated hospitals
to access the resources they have purchased via the consortium.
