Biology Collection
Description
The biology portion of the Chemistry-Biology Library is a
research-level collection containing materials on most aspects of the
biological sciences. Strengths reflect faculty interests: cell molecular
biology, botany, mammology, ichthyology, and orinthology.
History
The Biological Sciences Collection originally consisted of two
collections: Zoology and Botany; which were joined with the Pharmacy
collection to form the Biology-Pharmacy Library. The Biological Sciences
portion was separated from this collection in 1970 and integrated with the
Chemistry collection when both were moved to their present location.
Pharmacy materials are now located at the Health Sciences Library.
