Find a Book

  • UNISTAR [31] - The UNI Rod Library Catalog - is used to locate the books, journals (but not articles), and sound and video recordings found in this library.
     
  • Google Book Search [32] - view portions of recent books online.  Set search to "Limited preview and Full view"
     
  • OhioLink [33]and Mobius [34] - the shared catalogs of many libraries in Ohio and Missouri respectively, can be used to find books on soils not owned by the Rod Library. These systems will often search the titles of book chapters. Use Interlibrary Loan via UNISTAR.
     
  • WorldCat [35]- The catalog of catalogs!

Locating Online Government Publications with Google

Limit Google searches to the specific web address of an agency using the "site" command.

e.g.  The web address of the Environmental Protection Agency is http://www.epa.gov/ [37]

So to search documents on climate change within the EPA try the following Google Search:

                                       "climate change" and site:epa.gov

  ... or search EPA for only those documents with climate change in the title of the document:

                                    intitle:"climate change" and site:epa.gov

 

Maps and Atlases

The Rod Library has over 100 maps and atlases dealing with environmental issues.

To find these resources search  UNISTAR [38] and limit Location to UNI-MAP.
