BIO 4970 - Scientific Inquiry and Communication

This guide is designed to point you to helpful library and other resources for your Scientific Inquiry and Communication course. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or suggestions.

• Need scholarly articles for your paper? Check out the resources in the Article Databases section.
• Looking for help searching article databases? Schedule an appointment with me for a research consultation. If one of my regularly scheduled appointment times does not work for you, email me and I'm sure we can find a time that will work! Or, you can book an appoint with one of our other research help librarians using the links below:
• Need immediate help? Use Chat to work with a reference librarian 24/7.
• Need an article or book not available in our collection? Use our free interlibrary loan service.

Results you retrieve from Google searches are found on the surface web where information is not evaluated. Results from library databases are found on the deep web where information is evaluated. With Google searches you're finding only the tip of the iceberg.

Library databases help you find information that has been vetted and checked for accuracy. Also, library databases help you find articles that you can't find via Google.

Use Library OneSearch - the OU Libraries consolidated catalog -  to find print and online books, book chapters, journals, articles, and more! To narrow your retrieval to just scholarly peer-reviewed articles, use the filters under the search box to limit your retrieval to "Peer Reviewed." You can also specify a publication date range.
