We have books on
many MUN topics in the library, both in the stacks and in the reference room;
do a keyword search for the specific issues you are researching. As well, you
should look at our online resources, including SIRS Researcher,
Ebscohost, Britannica 2002,
and Worldbook 2001. Specific books about Biotechnology will be difficult
to find in the library - check in the OPAC for Biotechnolgy. Most
materials will be found in the 338.x or 574.x.
When looking for information on
the net, please check
Google first, using the same search
term as above. This sites organization and "hand-picked" links will be
your best resource.
