Find Government Information
Sometimes the best way to find relevant resources is to browse in the part(s) of a library collection dedicated to your subject. You can do this physically by visiting the library book shelves, or virtually at the bottom of each record in the library catalog (note this doesn't work for some electronic books). Call numbers can be used as a search term in the library catalog. For instance, searching for TX354 brings up textbooks on food and nutrition.
The multi-faceted nature of food science and nutrition means relevant resources are distributed throughout the library in a variety of subject areas. Below are some call number ranges related to food science and nutrition topics.
