Request for Thesis Reference

Published by Dipa Barua
Q: I am a graduate student currently finishing up and writing my thesis. It would be of great help if I could refer thesis AMICUS number: 32660138 titled 'Genetic approaches to characterize the role of the yeast Niemann-Pick C-related gene, NCR1', The electronic version is unavailable or I guess this thesis does not have one.
Please let me know how to go about it.

Reserve items from Surrey to Bennett?

Published by Dipa Barua
Q: Would it be possible to bring the reserve items at surrey library to Bennett library? The reason for asking is because the course BISC 202, is only offered at Burnaby campus this term and there is currently no reserve copies available at Bennett library. Also, if there more copies available, more students can utilize them. Thanks.
