Medical Information
at the Frederick Douglass Library

 

Journals

 

The journals available in the Library are cataloged in the online catalog.  You can search by title or subject.   The titles are also listed alphabetically in the Title List of Serials and by subject in the Subject Guide to Serials available at all Library service desks.  These lists will give you the years for which we have the journal and the call number.  Journals are arranged in call number order on the Lower Level of the Library.  The current issues that are “On Display” are arranged in alphabetical order. “Display” titles represent only a small portion of the journal collection. Please see the Serials staff if you have any questions about finding journals in the Library.

 

Books

 

The Library has many books on a variety of medical topics, mostly relating to classes given at UMES.   You can search the Online Catalog for specific titles or general subjects.  Remember the Subject search searches only subject headings, while the Word search looks at all the words in the entry, including title, subject headings, and notes.  Books at other University System of Maryland libraries can be ordered through Intercampus Loans, either using the paper forms available at the Circulation Desk or using the Request feature from the Online Catalog.  Please see staff at any of the public desks for help using the online catalog and placing these requests.
