Resources from the Health Sciences Library

Off-Campus Access to Library Materials

As students enrolled at the UW, you should have access to all online resource material available via UW Libraries. On the course website and canvas page, the links should be set up to automatically route through the UW Libraries Off-Campus Proxy Service. If you have problems with a link, please email Dr. Melby.

This link provides information about off-campus access to the library.

You might want to install the the UW Library Proxy Bookmarklet on your browser's bookmarks toolbar. This lets you log into the off-campus proxy service without having to start from the UW Libraries website.

Anatomy Resources Available via the Health Sciences Library

We will be using videos from Acland's Video Anatomy Atlas. This link takes you to the Acland's atlas via the off-campus link through the Health Sciences Library.

Textbooks on Clinical Key

Certain figures I am using in the course are from textbooks that are available via Clinical Key.  In all cases, the relevant figures are available via course videos and slide presentations.  However, if you are interested in looking at this material at the original source, you can access textbooks at Clinical Key through the Health Sciences Library.

One textbook whose figures I use frequently is Wheater's Functional Histology. Here are step-by-step instructions for how to access this textbook via the Health Sciences Library.

• Go to the Health Sciences Library Web Page.
• Under "Toolkits", click on "Pharmacist".
• The link for Clinical Key is located in the list "Point of Care Tools".
  
• Under "Browse", select the link for "Books".
• On the next page in the box "Filter List by Title", start typing in the title, then select "Wheater's Functional Histology".
• Once you have landed at the page with the table of contents, find specific figures by clicking on the chapter number in which the figure is located.
• Scroll through the text of the chapter to find specific figures.
