Following are the dictionaries and encyclopedias we have that are useful for research in medicine.
Encyclopedias can be a great source of background information for your topic and can help you find words to use for further research.
You will find books with Reference in front of the call number on the 2nd floor of the UCSB Library in the reference section across from the Ocean Elevators. Online resources are available on campus, or off-campus for current students, staff, and faculty.
