What are secondary sources and where can I find them?
You can go to the Library's website, click on the Databases tab, then click on Subject. Pick Biology from the drop-down menu, then click on the "Browse" button.
Most biology databases will include secondary as well as primary sources. The secondary sources are the ones labeled as "literature reviews" or that describe research done by other people, not the author. The database Annual Reviews consists entirely of reviews and is a good place to start.
