HPD Library Pathfinders – Obstetrics-Gynecology

SCOPE: This guide is designed to aid the beginning medical or allied health 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. www.nova.edu/hpdlibrary/.

PRINT MATERIALS: Books and multimedia about Obstetrics-Gynecology are classified in the WP (Gynecology)

WQ (Obstetrics) sections of the library. For related medical topics, 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 (these can be checked out for four

weeks), reference books reside in front on low shelves (for library use only), and reserve books are kept behind the circulation

desk (these can be used for three hours in the library). Study rooms can be occupied for three hours, both in the library and

Assembly II Building.
