Neuroscience
Thanks to WorldCat and Google Reader, I've created some nifty lists that highlight new books I've purchased in communication sciences (either communication or communication disorders) and psychology.

*new* Psychology & Communication Sciences Books
Thanks to WorldCat and Google Reader, I've created some nifty lists that highlight new books I've purchased in communication sciences (either communication or communication disorders) and psychology. As new books come into the library, I add them to a list at WorldCat, which then goes through Google Reader, and ultimately onto my subject pages for my three disciplines.
- Communication
- Communication Disorders
- Psychology
Note that those pages are also home to lists of recent publications by UConn faculty in those departments; both pages change frequently, so check them out often!
You can see some of the recent book purchases here:
Please let me know if you'd like me to consider purchasing a book for your subject!
