I am interested
in obtaining more information about various animals. I am doing
a research project and all the information I can gather would be
helpful. Can you help me with this?
For animal
research, I can suggest two good sources. College libraries are
great! If you are near a moderate-to-large university, they may
have a special library for zoology. This is where most researchers
begin when they start a project -- it is called a "literature
review." They pore over the scientific journals looking for
anything related to the animals they are studying.
This way, you
can discover if anyone else has ever done similar work and possibly
get some advice at the same time. Additionally, citing other's work
in your project may support it and give it more credibility! Other
than the library, try the Internet. Many researchers and nonprofit
conservation groups have great sites which you can communicate with.
Since there are so many, try "searching" under your topic of interest.
Happy surfing!
