BROWSING HEALTH SCIENCE IN THE LIBRARY
The MCC libraries, like most academic libraries, use the Library of Congress Classification system for cataloging books. This is a subject focused classification system utilizing letters and numbers in the book call number. Following are some call number ranges you can browse for health and medicine resources in the library:
QM1-QM695 = Human Anatomy
QR1-QR50 = Microbiology (includes immunology and virology)
R5-RZ999 = Medicine (includes all aspects of medicine)
TX341-TX641 = Nutrition (foods and food supplies)
