Resource Library
CBHD continues to invest in our resource library, housed in the Center’s offices. We are providing a study center environment to facilitate collaborative and cutting-edge bioethics scholarship. Visiting scholars from Canada (Carina Majaesic, MD, PhD, FRCPC) and Australia (Sam Chan, MB BS, PhD) made use of these facilities during March and July. Recent improvements to the Resource Library included cataloguing the holdings in an online database, the creation of an archive of topical, legal, and historical print materials, and the addition of over 75 volumes and periodicals.
