Medical students are best served by using the MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) as well as Dewey Subject search terms for catalog searching.
In general, Dewey subject terms will use a specific anatomical designation before the larger term. For example, the term "metabolism" will be proceeded by "Bones-Metabolism" or "Heart-Metabolism". MeSH follows a classification system that starts broadly and narrows down to specifics. For example, "Phenomena and Processes Category" can then be narrowed to "Metabolism" and then to "Metabolic Networks and Pathways" and so on.

This is a collection of online resources covering life, health, and physical sciences as well as social science and the humanities.
It is impossible for a library to own every book, journal, video, article, etc. that a campus community would want to read or watch, but interlibrary loan fills that void. We participate with OhioLINK for a lot of our interlibrary loan items which provides us with intrastate borrowing and lending.
