Course objectives
Improvement of the effectivity of literary research is a main aim of introduction to the botanical literature. Students are informed about the use of basic botanical compendia. Internet attainability of these compendia is accented in addition to their classical book form. Due to the character of botany, the regional aspect of literary research is accentuated in addition to more general sources. Assigned homework requires the practical use of these compendia.
