Browsing for occupational therapy books in libraries can be tricky.  Books on occupational therapy are shelved together in the general dewey area for applied medicine with a specific call number, 615.8515.  However, they may also be shelved by medical speciality (e.g., pediatrics, geriatrics, or psychiatry) or by affected body systems (e.g. the muskuloskeletal system or the nervous system).  It's recommended that you use the catalog (see box to the left) for searching.  This is much more effective than browsing.
