“The IACUC Handbook is an interesting interactive handbook with a unique format that introduces a complex subject of rules, policy, and guidelines for an animal care program and the committee given the task of oversight of that program and offers interpretation into those guidelines. ...easy to read, complete with a multitude of reference material ...useful to any new IACUC members or members of IACUC who have additional questions regarding policies and regulations concerning animal programs at their or other institutions.”
―Sandra L. Jex, DVM, ALN Magazine
“...Those who are new to IACUCs as well as seasoned committee members and administrators will find a wealth of information on the regulatory aspects that govern committee function and animal health. This book remains a valuable source of practical information on issues facing IACUCs, and I highly recommend it for the libraries of all those who are part of an IACUC or contribute to IACUC support.”
