TRAINING IN The USE OF BIOLOGICAL LITERATURE Available to Purchase

The literature of biology is an expensive tool kept in a library, usually remote from the laboratory. Compared with modern apparatus, it appears absurdly simple. Anyone with three A‐levels can use it. Besides, the funds are separate; even if one saves money on books, one cannot buy another spectrophotometer. It is always someone else who buys books. So the literature has a high cost‐to‐use ratio.
