HPD Library Pathfinders

Osteopathic Medicine

SCOPE: This guide is designed to aid the beginning student of medicine in finding online and print resources in the HPD Library. It is not meant to be comprehensive. To find these and other resources, always start at the HPD Library homepage. www.nova.edu/hpdlibrary. PRINT MATERIALS: Some books on Osteopathy are classified in the WB 940 section of the library. To find topics in general medicine and in medical specialties look in Novacat, NSU’s online catalog of all electronic, print, and other materials. Circulating books are shelved on the north-west side of the library (can be checked out for four weeks), reference books are kept in front on low shelves (library use only), and reserve books reside behind the circulation desk (can be used for three hours in the library). Study rooms can be held for three hours, both in the library and Assembly II Building.
