The National Geographic Society has just made available a database index to their collection of publications, including the main magazine, various children editions, books and tv/video offerings. The search interface offers basic and advanced search options, limiting to date ranges, and several sorting options. The database covers the complete publication output of the society back to 1888. This kind of extensive coverage, to my knowledge, is not available through any other aggregating service, let alone FREE!
This index contains records describing each NGS magazine article, book, map, video, and more. For full-text you can visit your local library or purchase available products and publications at 1-800-NGS-LINE.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is excited to announce the availability of its latest online reference resource: Neotropical Birds. Patterned after the acclaimed Birds of North America Online, this new resource will provide life history information on birds from Central and South America.
|
Given the large number of Neotropical species and the significantly less research that has been done on this group, this resource is starting out covering a very small number of species and will then expand its coverage over time as more contributors and information are identified. Persons with experience and expertise with specific species are encouraged to consider contributing to this resource. Neotropical Birds is completely free and the home page is:

This resource has been added to our catalog and database lists. Enjoy!!
The Paleobiology Database is an international scientific organization run by paleontological researchers from many institutions.
Taxonomic and distributional information about the entire fossil record of plants and animals is brought together in one place.
The goal is to educate the public, summarize the literature for professionals, and foster statistical analyses of mass extinctions and other aspects of biodiversity.
