As always, you can check any of these body parts and accessories out for four hours at a time. Just ask for the extremity of your choice!
Dental board and licensure prep books don’t come out very often but when they do it’s exciting. We’ve just completed acquiring and cataloging four new ones for you.
If you were planning to take the NERB licensure exam, please be sure to note that NERB has changed its name to the CDCA. As far as we are aware, you should be able to also prepare using the old NERB prep materials, but we got the brand-new CDCA prep book for you, because that’s just how we roll.
All board and licensure prep books that are not electronic are on reserve and may be checked out at the Service Desk on Sackler 4 for four hours at a time.
Our brand-new prep books are listed below, but you can also always check out our Dental Board Review Research Guide for the complete list.
As always, if you have any suggestions for prep books that you would like us to have, please feel free to suggest them to us by either filling out the form here or by letting your liaison librarian know. (The dental liaison is me, Amanda Nevius).

Have you heard of Dental Central? It’s a hub for community members to view or broadcast community and cultural events to enhance dental public health.
If you are a member of TUSDM’s community, check it out for volunteering opportunities or to post your own upcoming event in need of volunteers. This is also the place to order outreach supplies like toothbrushes.
If you’re a member of another group on the health sciences campus, consider which of your upcoming events could benefit from the inter-professional presence and assistance of TUSDM community members and consider posting them there.
Also be sure to check out Dental Central’s two hashtags #tusdm and #dentalcentral.
We want to tell you about some recent changes to pay-for-print here at the Hirsh Library.
First, you may have noticed that we now have several new laser printers! Yeah!
Second, what you may not have noticed, is that there has also been a change made to how you send documents to the printers at the Hirsh Library.
When you send a document to the printer, you will now be asked to provide your Tufts User Name (i.e. jsmith01) and then create a name for the print job.
If you use a Guest Card, you will enter the 9-digit number printed on the front of the card and then create a name for the print job.
This what you will see when you send a document to the printer:
When you swipe your ID (or Guest Card) to release your print job, you will only see your print job listed. This means no more scrolling through other people’s print jobs!
If you have any questions about the changes to pay-for-print, please don’t hesitate to let us know at: hhsl@tufts.edu
A very warm welcome to all of our new students! We hope that classes are off to a good start and that you are making yourself comfortable and getting into a good routine. The library can answer any questions you might still have so just stop by the desk and ask!
If orientation seems like a blur, here are some of the more salient points about the library:
- You can check things out! Laptops, phone chargers, skulls, models, and more! Oh, and books of course.
- Librarians are here to help! And each school has their own liaison librarian- do you know who your librarian is?
- The library has Open Workshops throughout the school year so you can learn new skills.
- The library also hosts fun events, just so you can have fun.
- Printing is done by adding money (Jumbocash) to your student I.D. card. $0.10/page B&W, $0.15/page double-sided, and $0.30/page for color.
- The IT desk can help with many tech issues you might have and can install software on your computer.
- Ask away! That’s what we at the library service desk are here for.
We look forward to seeing you around the library!
