Welcome to Research Guides @ CDC
Research Guides are designed to help you find more in-depth information on specific library products or services in one convenient location.
The Stephen B Thacker CDC Library Research Guides are designed to save you time and effort while increasing the quality of your research! From topic guides that suggest resources tailored to your topic, to research tools that help you manage your citations, to tips on how search databases effectively, to resources to help you maximize your publication’s impact, these guides are curated by CDC librarians to bring you the best places to get started with your research.
Unfortunately, some resources described in these guides are only available to patrons with a CDC user ID and password. Find a library near you that may be able to help you access similar resources by clicking the following links: https://www.worldcat.org/libraries OR https://www.usa.gov/libraries .
