A seminar, More than MEDLINE: Resources for Researchers, has recently been offered by the Matas Library at the Tulane National Primate Research Center and also in the Biochemistry Department. Please contact the Matas Librarians if you are interested in this seminar or other topics of interest, such as our highly praised workshops on Citation Management (RefWorks and End Note).
