Purpose

 

This guide is designed to aid the beginning Audiology student 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. http://www.nova.edu/hpdlibrary/.

 

PRINT MATERIALS

 

Audiology books and multimedia are classified in the WV and WL 700 sections of the library. To find topics on related subjects, such as neurology, surgical otology or communication disorders, look in Novacat, NSU’s online catalog of all electronic, print, and other materials. Circulating books are shelved on the right side of the library (can be checked out for 4 weeks), reference books on the left on low shelves (library use only), and reserve books in the front (can be used for 3 hours in the library). Study rooms can be used for 3 hours, both in the library and Assembly II Building.
