Finding Medical & Health Films/Images
Medical Figures & Illustrations in Books & Journals
Most medical books or journals are illustrated, many of them with hundreds of color photographs. There are even specific books that just have images (atlases). You can find print images by:
- Using the Library Catalog.
- Going to the subject area on the shelves and browsing through the books or journals.
-
Finding more images in the Health Sciences Library's print Historical Collections, or at Wilson Library.
Make sure that you credit them carefully! You must contact copyright holders for permission before using their images in new publications or versions, unless your activities are covered by fair use (see the Copyright Issues page in this guide).
Find Print Books
Search the Libraries' Catalog
HSL books published after 1990 are on the 3rd floor. Those published pre-1990 are in the basement. Note: Due to construction in the library, please ask about the current location of books at the ground floor information desk.
You can request that books located at other campus libraries be sent to HSL at no charge.
