How Can I Access the Bio-Link Clearinghouse Materials?
A brief description of all Bio-Link Clearinghouse materials is available in the on-line Bio-Link Clearinghouse Catalog. The actual materials themselves are available to subscribers. A subscriber is an educator who works in an educational institution and has registered with Bio-Link. No fee is necessary to register as a subscriber. (However, if you work with a for-profit company, you must contact Dr. Elaine Johnson, 415 487-2472) As a subscriber you will receive a password and will be able to download materials directly from the web-site. Occasionally materials will be available in a form that is not accessible via the Internet. In such cases we will mail you these materials, at your request, and there will be a fee to cover any costs associated with mailing and reproduction.
