Finding Data, Definitions & Background Information:
Reference books are a good source of definitions, data & background information. These are just a few titles (print & online) that might be useful in this class:
Biological Handbooks
These volumes in Cornell's Reference section are a good sources of DATA:
* Biology Data Book - Ref QH310 .A38
* Blood and other Bodily Fluids - Ref QP88 .A5
* Environmental Biology - Ref QH310 .A39
* Growth including Reproduction... - Ref QH310 .A4
* Metabolism - Ref QH521 .A46
* Respiration & Circulation - Ref QP101 .R47

Encyclopedia of life sciences
A fully searchable collection of articles in all fields of Biology, including ecology & evolution.
Finding Books:
Winter
An Ecological Handbook (Note: if the link to this ebook does not work from this course guide, try accessing it directly from Tripod). A PRINT copy of this book is also available and is on reserve at Cornell's Circulation Desk.
Ebrary
Academic Complete includes more than 30,000 current e-books from leading publishers, including life and physical sciences (2,400 titles). It spans all subjects.
Note: If you plan to PRINT from eBrary titles, you will be restricted to printing only TWENTY pages at a time, and FORTY pages in one session. If you need to print more than forty pages, you will need to close the browser & then open a new window (but copy the URL of the e-Book before you close, so you can paste it into the new browser window).
Finding Journal 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!
Google scholar
Use the "Check Tripod" and "Find it @ Swarthmore" links to see if we have access to full text.
Full-Text Journal Collections:
BioOne
Provides full-text access to research journal articles in such fields as the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences. Covers 2000-present.
JSTOR
Provides full-text and page images from many of the top journals in most academic disciplines. Coverage is from the inception of the journal through three to five years ago.
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).
* 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.
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.
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.

Citation & Research Information:
A short guide to writing about biology
Publisher: New York : Pearson/Longman, c2007.
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.
