Books are useful but have limitations.
They provide useful background information that is often synthesized by experts to speed those new to a fie
ld to a higher level of understanding.
However, the time from writing to publicatiion means that all books, even the newest editions, will be 3-5 years out of date.
At UCSF the most useful way to find book is to use the UCSF Library Catalog. To do so:
From library.ucsf.edu, find Search and Find tab, then the link to the UCSF Library Catalog
If you are searching by topic, either choose subject or keyword.
