What is this collection?

decorative image

The Graphic Medicine Collection is located in the Science & Engineering Library. It is on the 2nd Floor (the one you enter on), across from the SEL Learning Studio (the purple room to the left as you enter).

It contains graphic novels that are related to medical conditions, public health, and science - as well as some (mostly text-based) books about graphic medicine.

The collection and this guide are arranged by our loose topic groupings. The books have colored dot stickers over the call numbers that correspond to their category:

Yellow = Gender, Sexuality, Reproductive Health

Blue = Mental Health

Red = Science, Public Health, Miscellaneous 

Green = Specific Conditions (ex: cancer, epilepsy, ASD)

No Dot = Books about graphic medicine & its uses

If you have suggestions for the collection and/or recommendations of titles to add, please don't hesitate to click on my name below to email me!
