Welcome & Getting Started
Guide to Biology Research
Welcome!
This guide is here to help you through the research process in biology, from developing a topic to finding and evaluating sources.
To get started, we recommend beginning with these short video tutorials from the SRSU Library Essentials series. They provide a foundation for using the library's resources effectively:
- Navigating the Library Website – A quick overview of where to find key services, support, and research tools on the SRSU Library website.
- Introduction to QuickSearch – Learn how to search for books, articles, and more using the library’s main discovery tool.
After watching the tutorials, use the tabs on the left to explore each step of the research process. This guide is meant to be a one-stop resource to support your research.
1. Explore your topic
Before you decide on a topic, it is a good idea to do some background research. The Library has many resources that can help you begin!
