Zotero is a free tool that helps collect, organize, cite, and share research sources. It works within a web browser to store sources. Basic functions include inputting sources and adding citations to documents. Advantages for future research include organizing leads and items into searchable folders that can be backed up. Archival materials like photos can be input by adding metadata and converting to PDFs to attach in Zotero records.

Searching the Biological Literature
The document provides instructions for developing a hypothesis and searching for a peer-reviewed article to support the hypothesis and an experiment. It outlines the following steps:
1) Read the assignment and identify keywords from the textbook chapter and assignment to focus the search.
2) Identify appropriate library databases and search tools to find peer-reviewed scholarly articles supporting the hypothesis.
3) Examples are provided for searches in specific databases like Academic Search Premier and search tools like Google Scholar.
4) Instructions are given for searching the library catalog for books and checking if articles are available online.
Wolfram|Alpha vs. bing
Wolfram|Alpha is a computational search engine that aims to provide definitive answers to factual queries by curating objective data and implementing algorithms. It contains over 10 trillion pieces of data across 50,000 models and algorithms categorized into 29 subject areas. While powerful, it requires precise syntax and has limitations in natural language processing. Bing is Microsoft's consumer-oriented search engine competitor to Google with visually appealing interface and features like cashback programs, maps, news, and travel tools. Both serve unique purposes for different search needs and audiences, providing valuable additional resources beyond Google for users.
Science Databases
This document summarizes several science databases available through the library including Academic Search Premier, Academic OneFile, Science PowerPacks collections, e-books from Credo Reference, Gale Virtual Reference Library and NetLibrary, ScienceDirect, and SciFinder. It also mentions some specialized databases like Agricola, Birds of North America, Directory of Open Access Journals, GreenFILE, MedLine, and Scirus. The document provides brief descriptions of the subject coverage and features of each resource.
Business Research Databases
This document provides an overview of business research databases and tips for conducting business research. It begins by suggesting asking what type of information is needed and learning basic business terminology. It then outlines types of research questions like company, industry, statistics, and marketing research. Specific databases are recommended for different types of queries, such as LexisNexis for company dossiers, industry profiles in Business Source Premier, and financials in Mergent Online. Tips are provided for researching private companies and conducting marketing research. Screenshots demonstrate sample searches in various databases.
Getting started with blogs and wikis
This document provides an overview of blogs and wikis and how they can be used for educational purposes.
