Electronic Journals
Items in purple are only available with a password. Items in green are available free to all. Many free titles limit access to current issues. Even if content indicates 2005, it may not reflect the most recent 3 or 6 months. Some titles restrict by as many as 12 months. Ask a Librarian for more information.

BioOne Abstracts and Indexes -- search the abstracts and indexes from all the Academy's full-text BioOne titles. While it does not search the full-text of each article, you can link to the full article from the brief abstract. It features the same easy to use interface as Zoological Abstracts.

New Library Materials
Just a reminder that the Library receives more than 2800 current journal subscriptions. Although we cannot display every new issue, many titles are put on display on a rotating basis in the Library's reading room. The display is changed every week on Monday. 210,000 books are also part of the Library's collection, and new titles are added every day. New books are also on display, on the same table as the journals, and they are rotated on a weekly basis.
