Mike's Tips:
a. remember that OTA-related materials are located throughout the collection; for example,
occupational therapy in pediatrics is located in pediatrics (RJ section), while occupational
therapy materials will be in RM.
b. Reference materials don't check out.
c. The Circulation desk has "reference reserve" for the OTA, including COTA Exam Review.
d. Consider interlibrary loan---we can get things from other libraries.
e. Double-check your sources; confirm authenticity, currency, accuracy; cite appropriately.
f. Ask for help if needed
