The Wegner Library is open to all students, faculty, staff and healthcare providers who are affiliated with our partner groups, patients & family members or visitors of a patient, or those actively seeking health information.
For the safety of our partners, you may be asked to show your institutional (school or workplace) badge at any time.
Because our resources are limited, we need to keep these available to our affiliated partner groups, or patients and their family members actively seeking health information. If you do not fall into one of these patron groups, consider using the Siouxland Public Libraries.
Public patrons seeking health information, may set up an appointment consultation by email wegner@usd.edu or by calling us at 605-357-1400. Also check out these freely available resources.
