Advanced Search of LifeSciTRC

Click the Plus plus icon to specify as many parameters below to narrow your search on specific fields. You can also do a more simplified keyword search. Alternatively, drill-down listing allows you to view all teaching resources through discipline or resource type. Check all that apply in each category.

Please note! For some variables, the number of items currently in LifeSciTRCin that category are noted in brackets ([ ]) beside the variable. If you select items with more than 200 items in the category, your browser may need additional time (1-3 minutes) to present the long list of items for your review. Your screen may be blue or white during this waiting period. Please be patient. This is not a function of the LifeSciTRC search engine but of your specific web browser. For more information, go to Frequently Asked Questions.
