دانلود کتاب Biosciences on the Internet: 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.Content: Chapter 1 Approaching the Internet (pages 23–48): Chapter 2 Getting Access to the Internet (pages 49–64): Chapter 3 Citation Guidelines for the Use of Internet Materials by Students (pages 65–76): Chapter 4 Evaluation of Software and Web Sites (pages 77–108): Chapter 5 Search Engines (pages 109–117): Chapter 6 Email (pages 119–131): Chapter 7 Approaches to Preparing a Biosciences Assignment (pages 133–149): Chapter 8 Pinching Materials from the Web (pages 151–160): Chapter 9 Websites Which Present the Work of Students (pages 161–162): Chapter 10 Microbes (pages 165–171): Chapter 11 Example of a University Web Site (pages 173–178): Chapter 13 A Typical General Search – the Wreck of the Sea Empress (pages 179–185): Chapter 14 Searching a Typical Government Site – Mad Cow Disease (pages 187–191): Chapter 15 Using the Web for Bioscience Shopping (pages 193–195): Chapter 16 Whaling – Freedom of Enquiry (pages 197–217): Chapter 16 Searching Via Research Groups (pages 219–223): Chapter 17 An Eclectic List of Web Sites (pages 227–280): Chapter 18 Web Sites for the School Syllabus (pages 281–293): Chapter 19 Conclusion (pages 295–296):
