Biology 20 : Animal Physiology (SC)
Finding Articles:
Look for the 
button and click on it to see if you can get online access to the citation's article. If Swarthmore does not have access to the online article, you will be given the option to check Tripod for print access, or it will populate an InterLibrary Loan request form for you.
If you are planning to do any research off-campus, you will need to log in to EZ-PROXY, which is Swarthmore's proxy server. Once you have logged in through the proxy server, your access to IP-linked resources will be allowed.

ProQuest Research Library
Provider: ProQuest
An interdisciplinary database which has much full-text. Always a good place to start your research. Covers 1971-present.
Web of Science
This multidisciplinary database can be searched by subject, author, and journal title. Articles that CITE a known author or work can also be searched. Cited reference searching helps identify more recent articles on the same topic. Coverage for the Science Citation Index in WofS now goes back to 1900!
Cambridge scientific abstracts
Select Subject Area: NATURAL SCIENCES -or- select Specific Databases. For this class, you might want to use Biological Sciences or Biological Digest.
BioOne
Provides full-text access to research journal articles in such fields as the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences. Covers 2000-present.
Google scholar
Google provides a pretty good database for searching for scholarly literature. Use this IN ADDITION to library-provided databases listed here, as there is a lot that is NOT included in Google Scholar. But - it also often digs up good stuff that the other databases don't! Use the "Check Tripod" and "Find it @ Swarthmore" links to see if we have access to full text.

InterLibrary Loan & TriCollege Borrowing:
While Cornell Library has a really good collection, obviously there will be times when we don't actually own something you've located in your research. That is when you'll need to borrow from other libraries and to do this you will need Inter-Library Loan (ILL).
Tri-College ILL - BOOKS: If you want a book from Bryn Mawr or Haverford, simply press the REQUEST button at the top of the Tripod screen. Enter your name & barcode, and select WHERE you want to pick up the book. Delivery takes approximately one day library to library.
Non-TriCollege ILL - BOOKS: For books NOT available in Tripod, try E-Z Borrow and request books directly from nearby Pennsylvania & NJ libraries. Books usually arrive within a few days. If the book is not available via EZ Borrow, try regular InterLibrary Loan. (Use Worldcat to get complete BOOK information).
JOURNAL ARTICLES: For articles in journals not available from the main libraries in TriCo*, use the online ILL form. You must put the COMPLETE JOURNAL TITLE in your request - do not use abbreviations, or your request will most likely be sent back to you. For complete journal titles, check the book behind the Circulation Desk, or go to Journal Abbreviation Sources.
* Journals DO circulate from main libraries, so if you need an article from a non-science library journal, place a hold on the actual journal volume in Tripod and it will be sent via TriCo van!
* Your Swat ID will get you into Penn's libraries, but you cannot borrow directly from them. You must use ILL to get anything from Penn.
Citation Information:
There is a copy of this guide behind Cornell's Circulation Desk on reserve which must be used in the library. You should use this guide for examples on how to cite sources and for other information like taking notes, avoiding plagiarism, writing lab reports, and much more.
