Helpful Sources for History of Science:

• Dictionary of Scientific Biography -- no longer the most updated source, but reliable (in contrast to many other biographical references)
• Humanities Index -- online journal article search engine (U.Minn. libraries).
• SPECIAL FOR THIS CLASS: You have access to a bibliographic index just for history of science and technology. Go to Database. Use Username 'Y6.G19' and Password "HSSDEMO'.

  FOR THIS CLASS:

• Here is a partial listing of reliable journals: Isis, Osiris, Journal of the History of Biology. Studies in the History and Philosophy of Science, Ambix.
• NOTE ON THE INTERNET: The WWW is quickly becoming a valuable resource for information and even for posting scholarly material for general access. HOWEVER, the quality of sources can vary measurably. For this project, you should consider using the WWW to help you FIND reliable published sources, rather than regard whatever you find as credible.
