Welcome to MicrobeLibrary!
Collections
-
Gallery (formerly the Atlas Collection) is a collection of images, videos, and animations that can be used to enhance lecture or lab presentations. Individual items include brief legends that describe the items and how they were obtained. A collection of items around a central theme (e.g., Gram stain and MacConkey agar) includes a title for the collection and a title and short description for each item (e.g., figure title and legend).
-
Visual Media Briefs (formerly the Visual Collection) consist of high-quality, short communications with digital images, animations, and videos about the microbial world. Briefs include introduction, methods, discussion, and reference sections. Briefs describe the item and how it was obtained (e.g., cultured and isolated), its significance and/or use, magnification, and references. Visual Media Briefs are similar to short research communications (or briefs) in scientific journals.
-
Laboratory Protocols are information briefs about standard laboratory tests and include the procedural steps as well as the purpose, theory, history, safety considerations, tips and comments, and references.
-
Critical Thinking Question Bank is a collection of multiple-choice questions that go beyond rote memory and regurgitation of content to requiring critical thought. The level of critical thinking is designated minimally at level three (application) in Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive Levels. Designed especially for interactive learning using audience response systems, the questions are of value for pre- and post-tests or traditional exams, and may be used in the classroom or laboratory or online in blended- and distance-learning experiences.
