The last two Peer Reviewed Instructional Materials Online (PRIMO) sites of the month (for April and May) were
- Thinking Like a Scientist; creators Dani Brecher Cook, Michael Yonezawa, and Phyllis Ung (University of California, Riverside)" This interactive tutorial was a collaborative effort between the UCR Library and the Biology Department. It reframes traditional library searching skills around the idea of “thinking like a scientist.” There is an interview at https://acrl.ala.org/IS/instruction-tools-resources-2/pedagogy/primo-peer-reviewed-instruction-materials-online/primo-site-of-the-month/primo-site-of-the-month-interview-april-2021/ and the tutorial is at https://ucrlibraryteachingandlearning.github.io/learningobjects/bio_05La_forweb/content/index.html
