Microbiology, Microbial Pathogenesis, and Immunology
Scope: The purpose of this guide is to provide quick access to print and electronic resources covering Microbiology, Microbial Pathogenesis, and Immunology. Parts of this guide are derived from "Using the Biological Literature: A Practical Guide" by Diane Schmidt, Elisabeth B. Davis, and Pamela F. Jacobs (2002). Email the subject area specialist at tharrod@umd.edu or call 301-405-7253 for more information.
Please fill out the survey at the bottom of the page.
