Purpose of this Guide
This guide is designed to assist you as you search for particular types of biology articles in BIO 218. It will help you with the following questions:
- What databases should I use to search for these articles?
- How do I request an article from Interlibrary Loan?
- What is the difference between primary research and review articles?
- What search strategies should I utilize?
- What's the difference between a popular and scholarly article?
- What is a peer-reviewed article? (and how is it different from a review article!)
- How do I ask for help with any of this?
- How do I cite my source for lab report?
Remember, you have two Information Literacy assignments to complete this semester. You will submit these assignments in your BIO 218 lecture section of Canvas.
- The first assignment is due on September 18 by 11:59pm.
- The second assignment is due on October 18 by 11:59 pm
If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact Kari, the Science Librarian or stop by the Library to ask or you can AskUs (ask any of the librarians)!
