Biology
New and Noteworthy Titles
Shelf Browsing
Biology branches out over many different subject areas. If you want to browse either the reference (main floor) or regular (upstairs) collections to find material, I would suggest that you look in the following sections:
QH 1-278.5 - Natural History
QH 301-705.5 - Biology (General)
QK 1-989 - Botany
QL 1-991 - Zoology
QM 1-511 - Human Anatomy
QP 1-345 - Physiology
QR 1-502 - Microbiology
Search the Entire Collection
While the items you'll find in the Reference Collection can be a terrific place to start your research, more detailed information can be found in the Library's print and eBook collections. The search box found here is the same as the one on the Library's main page - it can search for books and other material here at the UWinnipeg Library, at libraries in Winnipeg, at libraries across Canada, or even libraries around the world.
Search Tips
|
Wildcards |
Words may be right-hand truncated using an asterisk ('*') in place of other characters. The '*' wildcard may also be embedded in a search string. You may use '?' to replace a single character anywhere within a word. Examples : environment* polic*, wom?n |
|---|---|
|
Boolean Operators |
Use "AND" or "OR" to specify multiple words in any field, any order. Use "NOT" to exclude words. Example : stocks AND bonds Example : (alaska OR canada) and (adventure NOT vacation) |
|
Field limits |
A field limit causes the system to search only the specified field for the specified word(s). |
|
Grouping |
Keyword search results are usually grouped by relevance to bring the most likely titles to the top of the list. Each group represents a similar level of relevance and results are sorted within the group by date or title. To get an ungrouped result set, use boolean operators to form a complex query. |
