Introduction
Biotechnology is a diversified field which includes the elements from a mixture of disciplines. As such, there is no single source or exact strategy that is best to use. It all depends on what you need to know and what your goals are. At Vanderbilt, there are librarians who specialize in all the disciplines related to biotechnology
The sheer number of almost 800 Vanderbilt Library databases can be daunting. Please remember that if you aren't finding what you need in a reasonable time, ask us for help.
