How to Use the Print Code Index

To browse the Print Code Index, select a topic/service area from the blue boxes on the left side of this page. Titles are organized by topic, then unique 4 digit print code.

Note: Pamphlets translated into French are now available under each topic/service area.

Ordering Pamphlets

To order print copies of any Nova Scotia Health Patient Education Pamphlet:

1. Find the pamphlet print code.

Every pamphlet has a unique alpha-numeric print code assigned to it. You can find this code online, when you search Pamphlet Catalogue or when you browse the Print Code Index. If you have a printed copy of a pamphlet, you'll find the print code on the back cover, in the lower left corner, with two letters and six numbers: XX85-####. The four-digit number at the end of the print code is unique to that pamphlet title.

2. To order bulk copies, complete and submit a Dal Printing & Digital Copying Services Requisition Form. Complete this form based on your zone, using the links below.

If you wish to get a quote before submitting your print order, please contact print.nsha@dal.ca. The Print Shop can ship print copies anywhere in Nova Scotia. Please note, there may be a shipping fee depending on your location.

*Please keep in mind, content is frequently updated. Therefore, it is not recommended to order copies in large quantities.

Pamphlets with an IWK pamphlet number (PL#s), may be ordered using an IWK requisition form for the Queen’s Printer (found below). Please include the IWK pamphlet number (PL#s), which can be found by searching the library catalogue. Completed forms should be sent to docutrad@novascotia.ca.
