Hello! My name is Kris Hughes, and I'm one of the librarians at the Tompkins-McCaw Library, VCU Libraries. I've been a member of the Education Services team since the fall of 2007, when I began working at TML. My professional library interests include consumer health, evidence-based medicine, and instructional design. Before coming to Richmond, I worked as a hospital librarian at the John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County in Chicago as the Technical and Electronic Services Librarian.

Here at VCU, I serve as the library liaison to the VCU Health System, the Massey Cancer Center, and the School of Medicine clinical departments. In this role, I am available to assist you with your research and information-seeking needs. For example, one of the liaison services that TML librarians provide are individual or group research consultations. If you are interested in this service or need more information about other services available to you from the VCU Libraries (www.library.vcu.edu), please feel free to call (827-1150) or email me (kmhughes@vcu.edu) to schedule an appointment.

I'm happy to help!
