The UCR Library collects resources in environmental toxicology supporting both coursework and research conducted by our students and faculty. This is a naturally interdisciplinary subject so resources from biology, chemistry, environmental science, and medical sciences are used. We offer subject-specific educational services at the library and also provide access to information from the UC Libraries System and beyond.
Conducting Research
