The Shapiro Science Library collections support research and teaching in the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE). Research and teaching in the SNRE spans the biological and social sciences as they relate to natural resources. Their diverse, interdisciplinary programs study the natural sciences and natural resources as applied to management, policy and education.
The Science Library collects materials in the following related subject areas: Conservation biology, aquaculture, forestry, fisheries, the botanical aspects of landscape architecture, ecosystem management, restoration ecology, wildlife management, environmental education and natural resource management, remote sensing, endangered species, waste-recycling, and acid rain.
Related materials are located in the Museums Library.
For information on locating library materials, consult the Science Library's Virtual Tour, or contact the Science Library's Reference desk for more information.
