Library
The library of the Swiss Chiropractic Academy contains about one thousand media: about 850 books, cassettes, videocassettes, CDs and journals. There are also articles and assignments from previous assistants. The journals, the articles and the assignments are not lent, but one may copy articles.
There is a limited number of journals available at the library of the Academy since many medical journals, pertaining to fields related to chiropractic practice, are found either in medical libraries or on the Web. Most of them are genuine chiropractic publications.
The various media are organized in the following main areas after the National-Library-of-Medicine-Classification:
W Medical Health Professions
WA Public Health
WB Practice of Medicine
WE Musculoskeletal System
WL Nervous System
WM Psychiatry
WN Radiology
QS Human Anatomy
QT Physiology
QU Biochemistry
QV Pharmacology
QY Clinical Pathology
QZ Pathology
These main areas are organized in sub areas, e.g.
WB 905 Chiropractic
WB 905.6 History and Philosophy
WB 905.7 Chiropractic as a profession
