MD Anderson Library

MD Anderson Library welcomes tabling inquiries from University of Houston departments and registered student organizations about services and resources that pertain to the advancement of student success and nationally competitive research. Requests must be in alignment with the mission of the University and Libraries. 

“Tabling” refers to a UH department or registered student organization hosting a staffed outreach event within the MD Anderson Library 24 Hour Lounge for the purpose of distributing information and/or the sale of food for fundraising purposes. Tabling in MD Anderson Library is subject to the approval of the Office of the Dean of Libraries and must be pre-approved.

Upon arrival, show your approval email at the MD Anderson Library Service Desk to receive your table location and a table.

Examples of UH departments/groups that have tabled in MD Anderson Library include the Student Health Center and Campus Pharmacy, Enrollment Services, Staff Council, and Auxiliary Services.
