Books are accessed through the Auraria Library catalog,
Skyline,
using an Author search (for
authors, other individuals, and corporate entities
listed as authors, i.e. United States, Department of Health
and Human Services), a Word
search (for subjects such as nutrition, diet therapy,
or diet fads), or a Title
search (for titles of books). A Periodical Title search
will help you locate magazines, journals, or newspapers
that we own such as Journal
of Nutrition Education and Behavior or Nutrition
Journal.
Normally a book will not provide the most up-to-minute
information on a subject, but it can be very useful when
you want considerable background information on your
topic. For terms to use in a WORD search, consult the Library
of Congress Subject Headings .
Prospector:
the Colorado Unified Catalog Use Prospector to
determine which major Colorado library may own a particular
book. You can order the book if it is available at another
library.
NetLibrary
A database of online, full text books.
Tip: You may use ILL
(Interlibrary loan) to order journal and magazine articles
that Auraria Library doesn't own. You may use WorldCat
to request books, dissertations, video recordings and
other materials that Auraria doesn't own and that you cannot
find in Prospector.
Local Denver Resources.
There is a major medical library in Denver. You may use
it for a membership fee. Look for similar libraries in your
