Preamble

The University of Queensland (UQ) Library is committed to supporting the University's research, and teaching and learning agenda. UQ librarians maintain subject assessments based on the Commonwealth Government Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative's Field of Research codes. The assessments reflect current trends at UQ, and respond to changes in direction through regular updating.

Purpose of the collection

UQ Library's collection in this area supports the teaching and research activities of staff and students in the Australian Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, School of Chemical Engineering and the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences. These schools are part of The Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology, and the Faculty of Science.
