Taxanomic indexes
can be used to trace the first description of a plant, to verify a plant
name or to check whether or not a name has been used before :

(This title is updated by regular supplements. Records from

INTERNET DATABASE SERVICES
Many journal indexes are available
in electronic form. The range of indexes available in this way is much
larger than that held in print by any individual library and they often
contain the most up-to-date references. Some databases also provide the
full text of some journals, in addition to the abstract. Databases
may be accessed from off
campus via Remote Access.
Direct links to the
services listed below are available at this Internet address :
http://www.library.jcu.edu.au/Resources/datasets.shtml
- Agricola provides access to global information for agriculture
- Biological
Abstracts (use BIOSIS Previews for 2002+)
- CAB Direct
covers all aspects of the life sciences
- Current Contents
Connect is a multidisciplinary current awareness
service for over 8,000 journals and more than 2,000 books
-
InfoTrac provides
access to Expanded Academic ASAP which has some articles in
full text.
-
IngentaConnect
provides book and journal article searches as well as search alerting and tables of contents services
- ScienceDirect - full-text for around 300 of 1700 titles, with contents pages and
abstracts for the remainder
- SciFinder Scholar
is primarily a chemistry database, but with significant coverage of
the life sciences
- Web of Science
gives access
to Science Citation Index Expanded and other citation indexes.
As well as topic searching for journal articles, the citation indexes
allow "cited reference" searching and enable you to examine
a document's historical origin and follow through to its current position
in the research literature
- Wiley InterScience
provides the full-text of all Wiley journals from1997 onward.
The Faculty Librarian also
maintains links to Internet
Resources for Tropical Plant Sciences.
