You will find most of the anatomy and physiology book collection at classmark 612 located on the 3^rd floor of Augustine House and in the Silent Study Zone in the Drill Hall Library. Some of these books will be aligned to specific subjects. For example, anatomy and physiology for nurses. Check your module reading lists to find out which titles have been recommended by your tutors. The 612 area is further sub-divided into categories such as 612.044 exercise physiology; 612.7 musculoskeletal system and 612.76 biomechanics.

Use LibrarySearch to find books and e-books about anatomy and physiology and your subject area. For instance, you could try a search for anatomy nursing or anatomy sport.

Medical textbooks have historically underrepresented the diversity of skin colour and skin tone. While this is improving, there remains a need for more inclusive clinical images. We have compiled a small collection of textbooks and websites focusing on skin. These provide access to images of skin, helping health, medical and social care students develop the knowledge and skills needed to recognise and assess conditions.

Remember to note down the classmark and check the different areas housing the 7-day loan and 4-week loans in Augustine House. Remember also that books may be available as e-books as well as in print format and the details for these may appear separately in LibrarySearch.

We use the Dewey Decimal System to classify the books so it’s easier to find them (yes, really!). These are the main sections of the Dewey System:

As you can see, each number refers to a different subject area.

In Augustine House, the lowest numbers are on the first floor and the highest numbers are on the third floor. Remember to check the different areas housing the 7-day loan (open shelves) and 4-week loans (moving shelves).
In the Drill Hall Library, the lowest numbers are next to the entrance, with numbering following a loop around the ground floor of the building. 7-day and 4-week items are shelved together.
