Biosciences on the Internet [PDF ebook] 
A Student’s Guide

Most biological science departments run general skills courses for
their first years, which include some combination of a range of
topics from lab skills, writing and presentation to basic maths,
statistics and IT. The IT section of these courses tend to include
some internet coverage but the trend towards learning how to find,
access, manage and correctly cite online resources is rapidly
becoming a required necessity for every student throughout their
undergraduate career.
At present, there are no internet guides that specifically target
this audience, despite the increasing importance placed on the use
of online resources and the difficulties students encounter trying
to make effective use of the information that is available. There
are a lot of resources on the internet and students, especially
first years, can feel swamped. As well as needing a guide, students
need support to help them identify good, reliable information on
the net. They also need guidance in administering the organisation
of their searches and the materials that they discover on the
internet. This simple guide will help bioscience students to access
the information they need on the internet, and to make the most
efficient and effective use of their time online.
