Biology - Research Basics

ScienceDirect topics can be a good reference resource if you encounter terminology you don't know. Providing excerpts from book chapters, the resource is free to use, but may link to items that require a fee. Once you've looked at an item and found related topics, search those in library databases or Google Scholar to find available articles and other resources related to your topic. The UT Libraries may have access to the full-text of a book that you find through ScienceDirect Topics. Search in the book title library catalog to find out whether the library has access to that book.
