Take a look at my new Biology Resources LibGuide !!!
- you will find important new resources such as: 

• ScienceDirect (Elsevier) -  a database with online access to about 10 million full-text journal articles
• to learn how to search ScienceDirect, watch this helpful video tutorial

• Science (AAAS.org) -  online access to the journal Science "the worlds leading journal of original scientific research"

Of course, once you are on the MDC Library Subject Guide (LibGuides) page be sure to browse all the other helpful guides that are available! 

How about these LibGuides from my librarian colleagues at the North Campus:

• Water Clock Project by Maria Casado

• Guide to Library Resources by Erin Fennell

• Wall Street Occupiers - An explanation by Steve Kronen 
• really at West Campus but we like you anyway Steve ; )

• Career Resources - Map Your Career & Find a Job by Cristy Moran

• SLS1505 - College Survival Skills by Merlene Nembhard 

• Library Resources by Christine Schwendel

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

LibGuides

New online library guides are currently being created by MDC faculty librarians to organize information and resources for students. These guides cover subjects that complement MDC classes and make accessing subject specific information easier than ever.

If you would like to recommend a subject for a new guide or have a great resource to be considered for inclusion in a guide, feel free to leave a comment to this post.
