State Academies of Science Abstracts
The University of Illinois at Chicago Library is pleased to announce the
availability of the online database-State Academies of Science Abstracts.
This database is an authoritative indexing and abstracting resource on
research studies that are specific to states and regions of the United
States. It is the foremost source of records on new species, range
extensions, and threatened and endangered species in all 50 states. Since
the members of the State Academies of Science are employed in higher
education, government and industry, and are specialists in their
particular fields of science, this database provides a vehicle for the
systematic, periodic examination of their scholarly research activities.
Forty of the forty-one academies that publish a journal are represented in
this database with some of the journals indexed back to 1943. The
database is accessed through Marshall University and WVNET with updates
entered every 40 days.
