Information Resources for Animal Welfare and Alternatives
| INTRODUCTION GUIDES TO RESOURCES JOURNALS DATABASES |
Development of alternatives has been most successful in the area of education, many of which created at North American veterinary schools.
This guide is intended to provide a brief list of resources on animal alternatives in higher education, with information on how to find additional and new material. It is intended to be helpful, but not definitive. The UC Center for Animal Alternatives has also published a guide to information resources in pre-college education, which cites other organizations and publications. We invite your suggestions for additions and corrections to these guides.
