Welcome!

 

In the search for knowledge, scientists look for reliable and truthful information in handbooks, textbooks, peer-reviewed articles, and personal communication with colleagues to solve forensic cases utilizing a scientific approach. As a colleague, I will recommend some resources that you can obtain from the FIU Libraries and provide you with a guide to search and evaluate those resources.
