The School of Public Health reflects a number of disciplines and academic interests, many with significant interdisciplinarity between the health sciences and the social sciences. Areas of interest in public health are represented in medicine, epidemiology, disease prevention, health care, environmental sciences, food sciences & nutrition, demography & sociology, education, gender studies, anthropology, Housing, Geography and many other relevant areas. These are also represented in professional opportunities in the various employment sectors and industries. There are also opportunities for developing skills on specific applications needed in areas like planning, forecasting, GIS, etc.
The library collections are to support instruction and current research efforts by faculty and graduate students, and the diverse undergraduate programs. They include books, journals, conference papers, government information, data sets, films & multimedia, grey literature and are found in various formats depending on the nature of the content. We are always improving our collections to maintain collections that are current, accurate, relevant to public health, and always expanding the scope and depth of the content to reflect the trends and evolution of the discipline. This website is a sitemap of how to find and use some of these resources.
Many of the resources listed in this Guide reflect international contributions from a variety of sources in a wide range of subjects. The emphasis on international development from many different vantage points is the intention of much of this compilation of resources. It is recommended to use the "Subject Coverage" tab to find additional topical concentrations and resources, and to comprehensively explore the guide by clicking through it. Of course, it is a work in progress and with your input, will better support your needs.
