With the start of the spring 2026 semester, Leon S. McGoogan Health Sciences Library opened a new location in Health Science Education Center II at the Douglas A. Christensen Rural Health Education Complex in Kearney.
McGoogan Library at Kearney is located on the second floor of HSEC II in rooms 202 and 204, and is staffed 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, and by appointment on Monday and Friday.
Education and Research Services Librarian Rachelle McPhillips serves the UNMC Kearney campus and provides curriculum-based instruction, assistance with library resources, research support, and outreach to students, faculty, staff, and UNMC-affiliated partners. The library offers a collection of anatomical models that are available by request. A collection of print books supporting the curriculum will be added later in spring 2026. To make an appointment or for assistance reserving items in the library’s collection, contact Rachelle at rmcphillips@unmc.edu.
