First stop - the library

Rachel searches her University Library catalogue using the keywords that she identified to find more books on her topic. Book titles that are found include:

  • Reproductive genetics, gender and the body, Elizabeth Ettore, 2002
  • Applied molecular genetics, Roger L Miesfeld, 1999
  • Gene Technology, M.T Dawson, 1996
  • Essential molecular biology: a practical approach, T.A. Brown, 2001
  • Somatic cell hybrids: the basics, C. Abbott & S. Povey, 1995

Rachel feels that she has found plenty of books but now wants more up to date information, so thinks she'll try searching the internet.
