Reproductive Rights

Research guide on Reproductive Rights including abortion, assisted reproductive technologies, contraception, genetic screening, sterilization, and surrogacy.

Interdisciplinary Searching

Most of the subjects covered in this guide are interdisciplinary in nature, meaning they cross subject areas (e.g., law and medicine). Most of Tarlton's interdisciplinary materials are found on the third floor; many others can be found through UT Libraries. To find books on reproductive issues generally, you can: browse the shelves at Tarlton and UT's other libraries by call number, or do a call number search in Tarlton's or the UT Libraries' catalog.

Helpful call number ranges include:

  • abortion: KF3771
  • family (HQ) and social welfare (HV)
  • family law: KF501-KF554
  • genetics: QH400s
  • reproduction: RG133
  • women--legal status: KF477-KF478
