Writing and Citing: Creating the Sudden Selector's Guide to Biology Resources

The Sudden Selector's Guide to Biology Resources details the most important sources of biology and life science information. Author Flora Shrode will discuss the process of gathering all of these sources for the book and will give advice on being a new selector in an unfamiliar subject area. A similar session about the Sudden Selector's Guide to Chemistry Resources was held on August 22, 2012.
