The Biotechnology Information Center is a "Virtual Branch" of the University of Illinois Library. The BIC is not a physical library. Rather, it provides specialized services and support to those engaged in biotechnology, molecular biology, genomic, etc. research or study on campus. We work frequently with those in the Schools of Life Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences, Bioengineering, and others. Our services are provided by email, phone, or in person -- yes, we make office, lab, and classroom visits!
Katie Newman is the Biotechnology Librarian. She has a background in the Plant Sciences, having been, in a "previous life", a member of the Plant Biology Faculty at Southern Illinois University, a post-doc in the Yale University Biology Department, and having obtained a Ph.D. in Biology at the University of Kansas. Vitae
Katie is very ably assisted each semester by a graduate student who is studying in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science program. Currently this position is filled by Shu-wen Huang.
