BioTech
is a hybrid biology/chemistry educational resource and research tool on the
World Wide Web. BioTech is intended to be a learning tool that will attract
students and enrich the public's knowledge of biology issues in the world
today. At the same time, BioTech is also a research tool for those already
involved in the broad subject of biology. By providing information about
resources, as well as avenues for further exploration, we intend to open the
doors of biology resources to post-secondary students, researchers, and
faculty.

BUBL LINK / 5:15 Catalogue of Internet Resources:
“BUBL LINK is the name of a catalogue of selected Internet resources covering
all academic subject areas and catalogued according to DDC (Dewey Decimal
Classification). All items are selected, evaluated, catalogued and described.
Links are checked and fixed each month. LINK stands for Libraries of Networked
Knowledge. BUBL
5:15
provides an alternative interface to this catalogue, based on subject terms
rather than DDC. The aim is to guarantee at least 5 relevant resources for every
subject included, and a maximum of 15 resources for most subjects, hence the
name 5:15. Big subject areas are broken down into smaller categories. However,
the upper limit of 15 is not rigidly applied, so there may be up to 35 items for
some subjects.”
