"The written works of one of the most forward-thinking conservationists of the 20th century, Aldo Leopold, are part of the University of Wisconsin Digital Collections. Leopold had numerous interests encompassing "forestry, wildlife management, conservation biology, sustainable agriculture, restoration ecology, private land management, environmental history, literature, education, esthetics, and ethics." He authored several environmental books, including A Sand County Almanac (1949), and created and maintained a huge repertoire of letters and other correspondence, diaries, memoranda, essays, research reports, committee meeting minutes, journals, and county, state, and foreign files. Funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the Aldo Leopold Archives contains digitized resources from Leopold's main body of work from the end of the 19th century until his death in 1948." from Choice, Feb 2009.

The American Institute of Biological Sciences is a non-profit scientific organization federally chartered to “advance research and education in the biological sciences.” AIBS serves as an umbrella organization for professional scientific societies and organizations in providing services, support, and a voice for research and education in biology. The AIBS site includes links to news, meetings, classifieds and articles of interest.

"BENTHAM OPEN are launching up to 200 peer-reviewed open access journals. These free-to-view online journals cover all major disciplines of science, technology, and medicine."

From the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology this covers the indexed published literature of vertebrate paleontology from 1509-1993. "The BFV Online provides interactive access to the SVP's 'Bibliography of Fossil Vertebrates' series. Using the BFV Online, users can specify a search criterion, and receive a formatted list of matching literature references. Results will appear in a new window (users that have activated pop-up blocking in their browser may need to adjust their settings for this to work properly). Queries are formed like taxon = 'Tyrannosaurus'. Detailed instructions are available for writing queries, including complex Boolean statements and the use of pattern-matching."

"Ten major natural history museum libraries, botanical libraries, and research institutions have joined to form the Biodiversity Heritage Library Project. The group is developing a strategy and operational plan to digitize the published literature of biodiversity held in their respective collections. This literature will be available through a global 'biodiversity commons.'"

"The Internet is replete with resources available to those with an interest in bioethics including education, research involving human participants and animals, medical and health care ethics, and the implications of applied genetics and biotechnology. This website contains a broad collage of annotated web links, and while this list is comprehensive, it is not totally inclusive. The listed resources provide background information and various positions on issues in bioethics. Where possible, we have linked directly to those positions."

Collection of bibliographic references to life science journal literature published internationally. Links to some full text where available.
