2. The Dentistry Library
In an 1895 issue of the
Dental School publication
Dental Journal, Miss
Hubbard, seated at her
desk, was given credit for
cataloguing and
systematically arranging
the books in the dental
library.
This reading room was
located on the second
floor of the Dental
College building, a former
professor's house which
stood on the current site
of the Chemistry Building.
The Dental College
occupied this building
from 1891-1908

7. The Dentistry Library
By 2008, a declining
reliance on space-
consuming printed
materials and the
growing importance of
electronic journals
allowed the Dentistry
Library to be merged
with the Taubman
Medical Library on East
Catherine Street.
