Article Resources
AGRICOLA serves as the catalog and index to the collections of the National Agricultural Library. The records describe publications and resources encompassing all aspects of agriculture and allied disciplines, including animal and veterinary sciences, entomology, plant sciences, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries, farming and farming systems, agricultural economics, extension and education, food and human nutrition, and earth and environmental sciences. AGRICOLA is organized into two data sets. The NAL Public Access Catalog contains citations to books, audiovisuals, serials, and other materials. The Article Citation Database contains citations, many with abstracts, to journal articles, book chapters, reports, and reprints.
Arctic & Antarctic Regions (AAR) is the world's largest collection of international polar databases. Coverage is multidisciplinary. A wide variety of sources are indexed including: scientific periodicals, monographs, proceedings of conferences and symposia, government reports, theses, dissertations, and books. Many are indexed only in AAR -- the best resource for research on cold regions anywhere, from temperate regions with cold winters to the Himalayas of Tibet."--NISC product factsheet
ASFA: Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts indexes literature in the field of aquatic resources, including aquaculture, aquatic pollution, brackish water environments, fisheries, marine biology, and oceanography. Input to ASFA is provided by an international network of information centers monitoring over 5,000 serial publications, books, reports, conference proceedings, translations and limited distribution literature.
Also known as BIOSIS Previews, indexes the worldwide literature of research in the biological and biomedical sciences. The database covers the entire field of life sciences including original research reports and reviews in field, laboratory, clinical, experimental, and theoretical work. BIOSIS indexes journals, technical reports, meeting proceedings, United States patents, and books in biology, biomedicine, and related areas. The database indexes literature published from 1926 to the present. Over 500,000 journal articles and other documents from over 6,000 journals and other sources are indexed each year.
CAB Abstracts indexes journal articles in the applied life sciences. It covers the fields of agriculture, forestry, animal and veterinary sciences, human health and communicable diseases, human nutrition, food science, animal health and welfare, microbiology and parasitology, leisure and tourism, plant science and crop science, and the management and conservation of natural resources. The database indexes literature published from 1910 to the present. Over 9,000 serials representing 125 countries are indexed in full or in part.
Oceanic Abstracts indexes the worldwide technical literature pertaining to the marine and brackish-water environment. Over 600 journals are indexed and literature published from 1981 to the present is covered. The database focuses on marine biology and physical oceanography, fisheries, aquaculture, non-living resources, meteorology and geology, plus environmental, technological, and legislative topics. It covers living and non-living resources, meteorology and geology, plus environmental, technological, and legislative topics.
The Web of Science service, available via ISI Web of Knowledge, includes three core component databases: the expanded version of Science Citation Index (SciSearch), Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index. The Science Citation Index provides access to current and retrospective bibliographic information, author abstracts, and cited references found in the world's leading scholarly science and technical journals covering over 100 disciplines from 1900 to the present. An important feature of SciSearch is the ability to perform cited reference searching to find recent articles that cite an earlier work.
xSearch, developed through the Stanford University Libraries' partnership with Deep Web Technologies, provides Stanford researchers and students with a single search option for multiple online resources. Searches may be limited to specific databases, or all available sources may be searched simultaneously. Search results are merged into one relevance ranked list, and are clustered by topic, author, source publication, publisher, and date. Custom searches using any selection of available databases can be created and re-used. Users may also create alerts in order to be informed automatically of new items that match search criteria.
Web Resources
The coral reef database is a collection of online resources for researchers and professionals within the coral reef field. Topics included are management, research, monitoring, conservation and education.
The National Wetlands Inventory website strives to provide wetland information in the form of maps. It also includes other wetland information, including codes and code definitions, plants, publications and more links.
With an overall focus on fisheries research and development, the OneFish Community Directory comprises an open-access, interactive internet portal in which knowledge of many types is referenced, linked to or uploaded, including news, events, jobs, documents, projects, websites and multimedia. Online discussions are either archived or hosted in OneFish and polls can be initiated. Knowledge is added manually by members and editors, or `captured' electronically from originators' systems.
Stream Net focuses on fisheries and other stream data in the Pacific Northwest, more specifically, the Columbia River Basin. There is extensive online fish data including a library, photographs and GIS data.
The Wetlands Regulation Center offers information about laws, policies and regulations according to the Clean Water Acts regarding wetlands.
The Office of Wetlands, Oceans, and Watersheds (OWOW) of the United States Environmental Protection Agency offers information related to protection of wetlands and watersheds. The website includes news and updates from OWOW, information on funding and training opportunities, laws and regulations related to wetlands, EPA databases, watershed and wetland mapping resources, and water quality models. The site also offers quick links to information on topics of interest, including climate change, the National Estuary Program, Gulf of Mexico hypoxia, and water quality trading.
