Drug Reference Guides for Selected Areas

NOTE~~~Please read prior to using Table of Contents ~~~

The following general areas of drug information request classification represent selected references deemed appropriate for finding information primarily in the Drug Information (DI) Center, unless otherwise noted. It is neither the intent nor is it possible for this reference guide to be all inclusive for both print and electronic sources; however, some practical electronic sources (links) are provided. For brevity purposes, only 10-12 citations or less are listed per classification and are not in their correct citation format. Only references title, edition, year, call number, DI Center location, and author are listed. Although difficult to prioritize, the listed references within each classification are in an "descending order of relevance."
