"Information sources in the biological sciences have grown far beyond journals and books. Sequencing projects and new molecular biology tools are creating vast amounts of new data and information in new formats. The manipulation, storage, and analysis of these new data constitute the growing field of bioinformatics. This field is diverse and interdisciplinary, drawing necessary expertise from information science and computer science, as well as biology. With our keen interest in the organization, provision, and management of information, it is natural for librarians to be intrigued by bioinformatics and play a role in bioinformatics teaching and research." (introduction to review by Tina O'Grady. This is a very useful list! It will also be available soon on the library page.)
