Handouts and Guides
Dentistry Library | Databases | Software/Technology | Writing | Miscellaneous
The Dentistry Library, as a service to its patrons, develops and maintains a variety of finding aids
and instructional resources. These tools cover a variety of topics, ranging from information about
the library and its policies, through tools for finding information about a variety of aspects of
dentistry, to broader resources intended to support the development of new information by our
faculty and students and the use of technology within the library. In addition, we include selected
guides from other libraries which we feel are of interest to or useful for users of the Dentistry Library.
