Resource Information

A good starting point for researching this area is the main UIC library catalog, which includes books and articles across multiple disciplines. Searching the catalog searches UIC's Daley Library, the Louis L. Biro Law Library, and the UIC Health Sciences libraries in Chicago, Peoria, and Rockford.
