Using Models @ Hope Brings Strength Libraries

  • Most anatomy models are kept on the table across from the Hope Brings Strength Library's service desk or on top of the short glass cabinet in the middle of the library. We ask that you return the model to its original location after use.
  • Some models (those with a lot of loose parts) are kept in the glass case beside the service desk.
  • A spine and full-sized skeleton model are available at the Sewell Learning Commons.   
  • Models are tagged with QR codes which link to the correlating section of Netter Atlas of Anatomy, or in some instances an alternative text.
  • Models must be used in the library.
