Subject-Specific Guides

Bio 14 Library Research Tisch Library at Tufts University
This site covers the general research process, with extra topics aimed at the sciences. Explores the cycle of scientific literature and lists and explains primary and secondary sources in the field of Biology. Citation examples are given, and there is a section on how to evaluate sources. This tutorial would be useful for basic science courses in other areas than Biology.

Research Guides for Criminal Justice Indiana University Libraries Research Collections
This site is a guide primarily to information sources available at Indiana University, but would be useful to anyone looking for information in this subject area. It includes guides to searching strategies for books, periodicals, and newspapers, statistics, and Internet sources. Research guides were adapted from class handouts that Robert Goehlert developed and include lists of reference sources, indexes, and journals, including a guide to the use of LEXIS/NEXIS. An interesting addition is a collection development policy and a summary of the sources of materials for the collection.
