Finding the full text of an article

Look for the button to open the full article.

Options for getting to the PDF will open in a new window. Sometimes the link will take you to the journal, not the individual article. Use the citation information for the article to get to the right year, volume and issue of the journal.

If the library doesn't have it, request the article for free from Interlibrary Loan. On average, articles arrive digitally within one business day.

Finding Fish

Here are two resources for finding information about fish. FishNet focuses on musuem records and is useful for getting a list of local species. FishBase is international and useful for locating species by various common names and identifying the literature describing those species.

FishNet

FishBase
