You can use LibrarySearch to search for the books you need. Just type in a few words from the title plus the surname of the author(s) into the search box. If you get stuck – please ask!

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.

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.

The following are available via LibrarySearch – log in and use the Find Databases A-Z link.

Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy: comprised of video recordings of real dissected human cadaveric specimens.

The content is organised into five sections: upper extremity; lower extremity; trunk; head & neck; and internal organs. Also included are tests and a glossary. Search by anatomical region, part or using the A-Z index. Excellent resource for those studying medicine, health, social care, human biology, biomedical and sport & exercise science subjects.
