The greater part of the Applied Health Sciences collection is on the open shelves
around the room. It is arranged numerically by Dewey decimal classification
number. At the end of the 900s are the theses and dissertations from the College
of Applied Health Sciences since 1978. Earlier theses and dissertations are
housed in the
bookstacks (STX).
A collection of non-circulating reference works, specialized as well as general, is located on the short shelves in the center of the room. Oversized books (call numbers beginning with Q and F) are located on the south side of this section.
Periodicals are shelved in the northwest corner of the Library. The most current (unbound) issues of periodicals are arranged alphabetically along the west wall, while the bound volumes continue alphabetically on adjacent shelving. A rotary file on the counter gives information concerning the Library's holdings of periodicals; holdings inquiries can be made at the circulation desk. A printed listed of the Applied Health Sciences periodical holdings, along with their subject indexes, can be found at the desk across from circulation.
Books and articles on reserve for a course are located behind the counter to the right as you enter the Library. This collection contains required and collateral reading material for courses, including books, rule books, and file boxes of uncataloged course readings. It is an open reserve collection, operated on a self-service basis. Reserve items must be checked out before use and can be kept, in the room, for 2 hours.
The Applied Health Sciences Library is also pleased to house the personal library of Avery Brundage - director of the International Olympic Committee from 1952-1972. This is a non-circulating collection located in the northwest corner of the library. It is part of the larger Avery Brundage Collection located also in the University Archives and at the University of Illinois Spurlock Museum. Please speak to the librarian about access to the Brundage Room.
