Resources Center. This library subscribes to most orthodontic journals and is the
depository for the Program's copies of theses completed by orthodontic Residents and
bound by The Graduate School. Its stacks contain over 80,000 volumes and serial
subscriptions exceed 1,600.
4. The headquarters of the American Association of Orthodontists, at 401 North Lindbergh

is begun. Residents should be aware that it can take a large amount of time before a purchase
order is issued so plan accordingly. Residents not adhering to this protocol are themselves
liable for the costs of such work.
