HPD Library Pathfinders - Biomedical Ethics
SCOPE
This guide is designed to aid the beginning student of medicine, nursing, or allied-health 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
Books and multimedia on Bioethics are classified in the W 32-50 section of the library. To find topics on related subjects, such as medical law, medical research, and physician-patient relations 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.
