Find Books
- UNISTAR - The UNI Rod Library Catalog [14] - is used to locate the books, journals (but not articles), and sound and video recordings found in this library.
[15]
- Google Book Search [16] - Online books prior to 1923. Partial view of recent books.
(Set search to "Limited preview and full view")
- HathiTrust Digital Library [17]
(Set catalog serach to "Full view only").
- OhioLink [18] and Mobius [19] - the shared catalogs of many libraries in Ohio and Missouri respectively, can be used to find books on botany not owned by the Rod Library. These systems will often search the titles of book chapters. If you find a book the library doesn't own - use Interlibrary Loan via UNISTAR [20].
- WorldCat [21] - The catalog of catalogs!
Find Government Documents
There are about 600 Government Documents in the Rod Library dealing with Paleontology.
To find these resources search UNISTAR [22] and limit Location to UNI Documents.
Locate U.S.G.S. Publications
Search the USGS Library Catalog - [23]http://library.usgs.gov [23]
Visit - "How to Find USGS Publications Online" - an overview on locating resources from USGS. [24]
Try Google UncleSam - http://www.google.com/unclesam [25] --- use advanced search and set "Search within a site or domain" to particular agency - e.g. usgs.gov
Alternatively, limit Google searches to the specific agency web addresses using the "site" command.
e.g. The web address of the U.S. Geological Survey is http://www.usgs.gov [26]
So to search documents on the Devonian within the USGS try the following Google Search:
Devonian and site:usgs.gov
... or search USGS for only those documents with "Devonian" in the title of the document:
intitle:Devonian and site:usgs.gov
