BIOL 208 - Microbiology - Maple Woods

Welcome to the BIOL 208: Microbiology research guide. This guide can help you find articles, books, and websites related to course topics and to complete course assignments.

The Home page describes the guide's layout and shows you how to get in touch with a librarian if you need help. 

If you're looking for information resources on microbiology, visit the Finding sources tab. The main tab provides some tips on searching and the types of sources you might find. Its subtabs - Databases/articles, Podcasts, and Websites - will point you in the direction of some microbiology-related resources.

If you already have a source, visit the Using sources subtabs.

• Evaluating sources gives you some criteria to think about when deciding whether a source is appropriate for academic research.
• Summarizing sources provides tips on summarizing articles and podcasts for your assignments. It also explains how to integrate quotes into your writing.
• Citing sources shows you how to create references, bibliographies, and in-text citations in MLA and APA style. 

Please consult a reference librarian if you need additional help in research or topic selection.
