Finding Older Published Articles on Species

Post by SteveMcBill »

Dear All,

Obtaining back copies, or reprints, of older articles from entomology journals (and others) can be a time consuming task involving lots of detective work. Well, now there is a website which can possibly help. The address is http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org The site has complete runs of early regional and national literature (late 1800s in 1900s) including the Irish Naturalist, Scottish Naturalist, Entomologists' Monthly Magazine, etc. There is a useful search by species name. From the brief use I have made of it so far it could, potentially, be a very useful tool.

Cheers - hope it proves useful for you.

Steve :)
