This guide lists resources related to food science and human nutrition which are useful for locating literature across a range of topics.
FOR UCD students, faculty, and staff: Feel free to book an appointment with Ruth for assistance in using these resources or for any questions you may have. Ruth is continuing with Zoom appointments. (Exceptions will be made if in-person or phone is the only/best option for the requestor.)

Searching in a library catalog requires looking for broader topics such as food justice or human nutritional genetics rather than the more specific food desert economics or human nutritional epigenomics.

The producer of the Food Science and Technology Abstracts database have produced a guide which is applicable across any subject database: Best Practice for Literature Searching
Methods in Enzymology is the classic laboratory methods/protocols book series. The complete backfile of the full-text is available back to volume 1 from 1955. As of 2017, videos are selectively being added to accompany the written methods. Direct article/chapter links are provided from core subject databases such as PubMed and BIOSIS Previews. Contains detailed protocols and descriptions of biochemical and biophysical techniques for research in biological and molecular sciences. More than 500 volumes are browse-able by individual volumes online from 1955 to the present or by searching across the collection by title, author, abstract, and keyword. Full-text access to articles is available in HTML and PDF formats.
Open Access to full-text protocols in three categories of “in vivo”, “in vitro” and “in silico” and a general category of other.
Anyone can add their own protocols or review those under development.
Over 200 protocols available.
A rapidly growing collection of peer-reviewed, life science protocols organized by 11 different fields of study and 10 different organisms. Protocols are organized chronologically with a detailed guide on how to reproduce a given experiment. Each protocol also contains an interactive and moderated Q & A section to facilitate open communication between protocol authors and the research community.
This classic encyclopedia covering scientists from all time periods and all fields of science has been completely revised. This “complete” online version includes all the entries from both the new (2008) edition and the original edition.
