WRS -- BioOne eJournals

This week's resource spotlight is on BioOne ejournals. BioOne contains the full text of 50 journals in the area of Biological Sciences, including microbiology, botany, entomology, marine and coastal biology, ornithology, environmental biology, and other fields of interest.

The advanced search allows searching by title, abstract, full-text, references, author first name, and author last name with the option to search for an exact phrase, all terms (AND function), or any terms (OR function). Traditional Boolean operators may not be used. You can also limit the search by date range, or to a particular journal or selection of journals.

Articles can be viewed in HTML or PDF formats. The HTML format includes hyperlinks to the ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System) report for each organism referenced in the article, as well as hyperlinks to citations referenced. The PDF format appears just as it would on the page of the hard copy journal. BioOne also allows researchers to automatically create a citation for any article contained in their database to be downloaded into Procite, EndNote, Reference Manager, or RefWorks.
