We have given a broad overview of title-by-title ebooks and subscription packages acquired in 2020-21, but we thought it would also be useful to highlight and revisit some of the acquisitions made by individual Schools over the last academic year. To kick us off, this blog post will look at titles acquired by the School of Biological Sciences.
Subscriptions
A strong addition to Biological Sciences teaching and research in 2020-21 was the Ovid LWW Health Library – International Anatomy Collection, which is available to all Cambridge users with a Raven log-in.
The Anatomy Collection is a particularly useful teaching and learning resource for students of PDN and Medicine, and features key textbooks on Anatomy, Histology, Embryology and Neuroscience, as well as a video library, case studies, and a customisable quizzing tool for exam preparation and self-assessment.
A full list of textbook titles and links is available below. New editions are added when they are published.
- Clinical Anatomy Cases: An Integrated Approach with Physical Examination and Medical Imaging (1st ed.)
