How do I find information for my college assignments?

The information does not have to be in the library. It could be electronic, but it needs to be more plentiful and better than Wikipedia.

SubjectsPlus/Help by Subject - Information sources for your major. There are also SubjectsPlus/Help by Subject Guides for Botany, the Environment and General Science.
- Credo Reference - Definitions from 360 encyclopedias and dictionaries, direct links to the Library Catalog and other resources.

Databases Tab Searches EBSCOhost Academic Search Elite to tell you which magazines, newspapers and journals have published articles on the topics you want.

  - Biological Abstracts
    This database covers every major biology subject. It is very scholarly.
Journals Tab Provides a search box for specific magazine, newspaper or journal titles. Tells you where the periodical article is and if it is electronic or in print. In the example below, you would need to look up Journal of Anatomy.

Wood, Bernard. "Human Evolution: Taxonomy and Paleobiology."

Journal of Anatomy 197.1 (July 2000):19-60.
