Introduction

Welcome to the CBE 101 LibGuide! This guide is designed to support your coursework in CBE 101, in particular to help build your understanding about how to find evidence (both scientific and non-scholarly) that supports your work in the challenges. 

The UNM libraries have many other resources available for your research, and we are happy to arrange research consultations if you have trouble finding what you need. Don't hesitate to contact us with questions or resource recommendations!
