Ornithology Journals

Articles on birds appear in a wide variety of journals. Be sure to browse others focused on animal conservation, ecology and behavior. The listings include the call number for print copies at the OSU Libraries and when available the links to electronic copies. Some electronic access is limited to OSU computers as the Libraries purchases the access. The records in 1Search list all of our access points. SORA (Searchable Ornithological research Archive) provides free access to older issues of several important journals.

 

These are some of the core journals.
