BIOL 225: Biodiversity & Climate Change: Using the Library

The Library provides access to a wonderful selection of print and electronic resources on a vast array of topics; if we don't have a title that you need, we can typically borrow it from another library nearby or across the country.  Additionally, the library provides access to other resources like chargers, white boards, jigsaw puzzles and much more.  We also offer welcoming and skilled library staff to help you with all your information needs.  

Subject librarians are here to help with your research!

Each librarian specializes in specific subjects or fields of study. You can set up an individual research consultation with a librarian for research help.

Here are a few other things that we can do for you:

• Show you the best places to begin your research.
• Help you develop effective search strategies.
• Locate the information you need within our library.
• Obtain books, articles, cds, etc. from other libraries.
• Find additional information from citation lists/bibliographies.
• Judge the quality & reliability of information.
• Use information ethically (e.g. plagiarism).
• Cite information correctly (e.g. APA style).
• Demonstrate how to use citation resources.
• Tell the difference between various literature types.
• Determine whether something is peer-reviewed.
