Resource Instruction
Librarians are available to give individualized and group instruction on information resources to both faculty and students. If you would like to set up an appointment to receive resource instruction or to schedule instruction for your class, please contact the library.

NIH funds to the free digital archive, PubMed Central, in order to help advance science and improve
human health.
