Dive into biological research quickly and easily by utilizing core reference sources for background information to come up with keywords, concepts, and research topics. Reference resources build a strong foundation for your research projects.
For general textbooks on a particular topic do a keyword search: <topic> study teaching. This won't get you every textbook we have, but should help get you pointed in the right direction.
Browsing in the appropriate call number range can also be a productive exercise. All of the following call numbers are located on Level 2, North Stacks or in Oversize. Many of our science textbooks are considered Oversize books and are located in the Oversize stacks on Main Level, Center Stacks.
