No bones about it, these online anatomy books rule!

Summer semester is in full swing, and for some of you that means anatomy class. Before you start hacking away those cadavers, consider hacking of a different kind: using an e-book in the lab, direct from your laptop, to identify that fatty tissue.

Whoa! You mean I don’t even have to open a book???
Thieme ElectronicBook Library has over 20 atlases of the human body, including Pocket Atlas of Human Anatomy, Color Atlas of Human Anatomy, Vol.3, & The Human Body.

AccessMedicine, AccessSurgery & AccessEmergency Medicine are also good resources. Though no specific anatomy books are in here, a keyword search for any body part can give you lots of results from a ton of different e-books.

Computers are lame. Giving me the print edition
Not into the e-book thing? Good news — you can browse our extensive anatomy section of the library by going to the 4th floor books & looking for the call number QS 4 ot QS 17.
