Books – browsing the shelves
Most of the books on Nutrition are found in the 613 area – this area is mainly books about healthy diets and books about vitamins and minerals. Diets associated with particular diseases or medical conditions may be in the 616 or the 613 area. Some of the books that have recipes for particular conditions such as diabetes or a wheat-free diet are found within the cookery books in the 641.5 area.

To help you find the books on the topic you want, try searching on our online catalogue using Quickfind and type in the keywords.

If the Quickfind search brings up too many titles or titles that are not relevant go into one title which is similar to what you want and note the subject heading. Select Subject as the Search field e.g. you may want books on heart disease and diet. If you type heart disease* in the search box it will bring up all the subject headings relating to heart disease(s). Tick the boxes at the left of the subject headings that suit your requirements.
