BI 171 Online Guide
This online guide accompanies your library instruction session for BI 171. Use this guide as a resource as you complete your PLG Library Research Database Activity assignment.
Subject Specific Databases
In today's session we will be exploring databases that have content focusing on biology and other science disciplines.
Beyond the DNL
Can't find the book or article you want? Try Interlibrary Loan (ILL)!
- Use materials from other libraries' collections free of charge
- Get articles via email within 3-5 business days, and books within 2 weeks
- Be notified by email when your items arrive (physical materials will be held at the Library in your name)
- Check out the ILL Frequently Asked Questions page for more info
Other options for finding books:
-
WorldCat
Allow WorldCat to access your location information and you can see if a book is available at Fairfield or nearby. Once you've found the book you want, you can click on the "Get From Other Libraries (ILL)" link (please note that if you're not ordering it through ILL, you would be responsible for picking it up from the other library).
Other options for finding articles:
Sometimes if the Library doesn't have the full text of an article, you can find it by searching for the article title in Google Scholar.
