Images from the History of Medicine
Wonderful resource from the National Library of Medicine:
"Images from the History of Medicine (IHM) provides access to nearly 70,000 images in the collections of the History of Medicine Division (HMD) of the U.S National Library of Medicine (NLM).
The collection includes portraits, photographs, caricatures, genre scenes, posters, and graphic art illustrating the social and historical aspects of medicine dated from the 15th to 21st century.
The records from the Images from the History of Medicine database are also searchable in LocatorPlus."
The database is searchable and there are pre-defined collections based around authors, topics, media type, or geographic location. As an example, here's a map showing the routes of transmission for the 1832 cholera epidemic:

Dentistry Collection @ Taubman
The Dentistry collection has now been moved out of the Dentistry Library and will soon be on the shelves at the Taubman Medical Library. Here's where we are in the process now.
Reserves are available, except for a small number of items for which we had only one copy (these are being scanned). Just ask for them by call number at the Circulation Desk.
Journals are in the stacks on the 5th floor. Because these titles are being integrated into the collection gradually (over the next month or so), some may be difficult to find, so ask for help at the Circ Desk. When dentistry journals have been integrated with the rest of the journal collection, you'll find them on the 5th and 6th floors, shelved alphabetically by title.
Books will be coming to Taubman in groups over the next month as they are scanned for the Google project. If you need a title urgently, please ask at the Circ Desk & we'll recall it for you.
