Books on nursing philosophy, theory, administration and history are usually shelved in the RT section. Books on the application of nursing skills are shelved in the specific discipline: for example, books on Pediatric Nursing are shelved in the RJ section.
Reference materials are shelved on the first floor of the library in the reference section. It is a non-circulating collection.
The Main collection is shelved on the second floor of the library. These materials can be checked out.
