In the Reference section of the Dental Library

The reference section contains books such as:

dental dictionaries in various languages, e.g. Mosby's Dental Dictionary
health sciences dictionaries, e.g. Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary and A Dictionary of Epidemiology
language dictionaries, e.g. the Canadian Oxford Dictionary
drug guides, e.g. Mosby's Dental Drug Reference
writing resources, e.g. A Canadian Writer's Guide and Roget's Thesaurus

The books in the reference section can only be used within the library; however, for some of these books we have earlier editions in Stacks which can be borrowed.

At the public service desk

Certain reference books in high demand are kept at the public service desk -- for instance

Canadian dental directory
Dispatch: your source guide to dentists and specialists in Ontario
Drug information handbook for dentistry

Online

To locate other electronic reference books (e.g., language dictionaries), please see Search for Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Directories, Handbooks...
