Health and Medical Resources

Use the New Jersey State Library catalog to locate books, periodicals, and publications of all types in the collection of the State Library.

Tips:

• Use the General Keyword search for a broad search in all fields.
• Use Title Keyword for a narrower search of your topic.
• Use Author Keyword to find an author - it does not matter in which order you enter the first and last name.

For assistance with finding subject terms, keywords, and medical terms, use medical dictionaries found in the library collection call numbers 610 to 610.3. Or use online medical terminology resources.

As a general guideline for browsing the print book collection at the NJ State Library, find the following topics under the Dewey Decimal headings shown. Use for both the circulating collection on level 1 and level 3, and the reference collection on level 4.

Keep in mind that health materials may also be found in other areas. Check the Library Catalog for additional information.
