This is not an exhaustive listing of every on-line library collection
on the Internet. Rather, this list is
a guide to on-line catalogs of specialized collections, primarily
in natural history, systematics, and the history of science. A few more
general sources, as well as links to some local libraries, are also included.
Unless otherwise specified, all sites allow searching of catalogs; telnet
connect information is supplied where needed.
A number of image databases and various other references
of interest to biologists are now on a separate
list of miscellaneous resources,
and you may also wish to examine our
list of map and geographic collections.
Consult Libweb
for a master list of library information servers. For on-line journals and
newsletters in the natural sciences,
consult the list
maintained on the UCMP server.
