To request that a book be delivered to a Madison College library for pick up you can fill out an Interlibrary Loan Request Form. 

Students with a valid OneCard and enrolled in a degree credit class at Madison College may obtain a free courtesy card allowing access and borrowing privileges at all UW-Madison campus libraries. Students should bring their OneCard to any of the Madison College campus libraries and request a qualifying form from the library staff. To obtain a courtesy card, students will need to present this form, along with their OneCard, at the Card Application Window at UW-Madison's Memorial Library.

Madison faculty and staff may obtain a courtesy card by presenting a photo ID and proof of institutional affiliation at UW-Madison Memorial Library. 

Books on dentistry are shelved together in the Dewey area for applied medicine with a general call number of 617.6. (see box, lower left for more numbers.)  Relevant materials may also be shelved by medical speciality (e.g., drugs, radiology, or psychiatry) or by affected body systems (e.g. the muskuloskeletal system or the nervous system.)  It's recommended that you use the catalog for searching.  This provides more complete results than browsing.
