Animal Testing

"Pathfinders" are guides to help you get started finding information on a topic. A St. Kate's Reference Librarian has written this guide to help you perform Library research for your structured controversy paper and presentation. It is not meant to be an exhaustive list of resources, but some places to begin your hunt.

Please stop or phone the Reference Desk (651-690-6652) if you have questions or need further assistance.
