American Society for Bioethics and Humanities Annual Meeting, October 21-23, 2010 in San Diego, CA

Exhibit Table No. 309 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel

Please stop by at the BRL's exhibit at the annual meeting of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH) in San Diego. Library staff will provide an overview of onsite and online educational and research resources available via our new website. Learn how to find case studies and audiovisuals to enliven your next discussion or presentation. Track down articles and books containing empirical data on bioethics issues and drop off copies of your recently published papers for addition to the collection.

We've posted the keyword tagging vocabulary that we use to organize materials in the Collection. Many of these terms have been adopted into the MeSH language used by the National Library of Medicine. We hope that authors, journal editors, and researchers might also adopt the terms to assign keywords to their published articles.
